Sounds like a lot of work--and since I do not know exactly what the problem is--either a u-joint or two or the rear wheel bearing, I might just have a reliable shop near where I live take a look at it.

Probably will avoid the stealership on this repair since it is not really Toyota specific.

Thank you for all the help.

I might still do it if I can get a good grip on what the FSM says about the whole ordeal. I appreciate the tips learned the hard way. It's not the knowledge, it is the wisdom.
