Mechanical Issue?
Hello Fellow Taco owners.
I own a 2012 Tacoma about 181K on the dash, and recently been having some issues, so last week my front end locked up while I was waiting in a drive through line, I ended up having to reverse out like half of block lengths just to unlock it, and be able to move forward in drive. Originally when I happened I tired everything from 4H to 4L and even L,2,3,4 but nothing moved it forward until I went into reverse, I went to the shop they change the passenger front caliber and hoses they said it was causing the issue, but more recently over the past 2 days it started happening again, it’s like a bang when it does happen, now I’ve unplugged the ABS Sensor trying to see if that helps the issue and it does, but now it feels sluggish when you feel like it’s gonna happen, but I can push past it. Now guys I have no idea if it’s the front differential, or the whole drive shaft, or even the axel. I ruled out the ABS Sensor making it lock up but now it’s like I’m chasing a problem. If you guys have any ideas of what this could be please leave a comment.
For reference I’m located in NYC, if anyone knows of a good trust worthy shop that specializes in 4X4 vehicles
I would like to get some stuff done as well as fix this issue I am having. Truck basically stock pictured for reference.
