Hi all,
I am finishing putting in an elocker rear axle out of a 96 4runner (129K miles) into my 97 4runner and just drained the rear diff gear oil from 96 elocker axle. The diff was leaking gear oil due to a loose drain plug so there was not much in there beyond about 3-4 ozs.
I noticed some very very fine gold/brass colored particles within the gear oil.
I have not driven the car with the new axle as of yet, so I am not sure if there is a problem yet.
My question to all, is this normal to see this?
thanks,
