Any progress? Looking to do this to my 06 LX soon so any detailed install help would be greatly appreciated

Any longer term update on how long the A-Premium amazon ones are lasting?

Diff was bone dry when they took it apart. They didn’t see any leaks so prior shop that serviced it 10k miles ago didn’t put oil back in. Be very careful who you let work on you truck. Over 6k hit could have been avoided. I opted for the dealer to do the job so I could have gotten out...

Here are the notes and pictures they gave me. I made a mistake and said oil instead of grease. He also said on the phone the splines were bad on the cv axels but the notes say they are slinging grease. Two of the small bands are missing.

Just got the 2nd opinion from my local Lexus Dealer. They confirmed the front diff is shot and they said the cv axels also are slipping in the diff and they will need to be replaced. Also they said the drive shaft is leaking grease and want to replace that as well (it was recently greased so I...

I have tundra trd pros on mine without spacers and the toyota logo on the center comes out allowing you to drill a hole big enough for the dust cover to fit. Then I siliconed the toyota center caps back on. Not the exact wheel you have but it works for mine and they have held up for a few...

I was not able get the drain plug loose with the tools I have currently. My issue was the same as OTRAMM video's LX. I was getting a different sound with load to coast before it died so my Pinion bearing was probable bad. I also think my drive shaft was over greased putting extra load on it...

I got the truck home and did some inspections. Circlips are still on. It looks like 2 of the small clamps are gone on the cv axels so those are slinging grease but otherwise boots appear in good shape and they are OEM. I had to drive a few miles to get back to my house and it drives with the...

I'm not sure if I'm going to try to tackle this myself but my dad was talking to a guy he knows at the Lexus dealership here and they will give me a second opinion for $175. If I want them to do the install he said it would be the same 8 hours but their rate is $175. So only $128 more for them...

I talked with the mechanic today. He is adamant that the pinion gear and ring gears are bad. He said the CVs are slinging grease but they could be reused, but it was his recommendation to replace them while he has everything apart. I asked about rebooting and he said it doesn’t make sense...

When it got off the tow truck I just put it in park and didn't pull the park brake. It started rolling backwards out of the parking spot. after pressing the CDL button I was able to drive forward to put the car back into the parking spot. It didn't make the grinding noise either. Prior to...

I was traveling in my 2006 LX this past weekend and the car started making some weird noises and shaking so I pulled over. When I got out of the car it smelled like burnt rubber. I tried to put it back in gear and it made a grinding noise and wouldn't move. I had it towed 100 miles back to a...

Did you ever get this fixed? If so what did you go with? I'm in need of a new front diff for my 2006 LX.
