Default Just Had DL001 Clunk Fixed (But Now)

Hello:

I got the "Clunk Fix" on my 2003 GX470 fixed on Friday. Now I notice a "small vibration" coming from the gas pedal and you can see it in the rear view mirror, to the point the vibration blurs the image in the mirror. It usually shows up at 55 + MPH. I don't feel anything in the steering wheel just the gas pedal and the mirror visual. It was not there before the drive shaft fix. Not being trivial, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

I'm sure I will get used to it, but the mirror is the most annoying thing about it. The mirror image is blurred by the vibration. The clunk is completely gone.

I did not have any vibration after the TSB. Maybe its the new drive shaft, I would let it wear in for 500 miles or so.

I've had the TSB done and drove 2000 miles so far. There's no vibration or any noise so far.

Take it back right away - either the driveshaft is out of balance or the universal(s) were reinstalled out of phase. 500 miles will not "heal" it, the longer you wait, the more it will worsen and they will be less likely to fix it for free. Hope this helps.
