front differential

Mudders, looking to get some advice on a new development for my 98'LX470's FRONT & REAR Differential. Truck has 191K miles. Technician from a reputable shop I have going to for years found metal shaving in the front and rear differential when they did the fluid replacement. Spoke to owner and...

Got this diff with my LX when I bought the truck from the previous owner. She said that the shop that was working on it sourced it from a junkyard when her parts were on backorder. Parts ended up coming in sooner than expected and she opted to keep the spare diff. Everything should work but I...

I have for sale the OEM 3.90 front and Rear Diffs out of a 2013 Land Cruiser. Mileage was 130k when removed, they received regular fluid changes, and are in perfect working condition. Drop in ready gear upgrade for the 2016+ 200 series. Pick up in the SF Bay area Price: $1200 for front and...

Up for sale is a front differential assembly out of a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser. The vehicle had 410,000 miles on the odometer but judging by the condition of the fluid and other components (rubber bushings still in tact), I am of the opinion that the front diff may have been replaced. Local...

Hello! First, thank you to this community. I have learned much from you since I purchased my 2001 LX470 in February: A one-owner, 189K, rustless (Texas). I've done the obvious things. Had the water pump and timing belt changed. I have replaced the AHC globes and fluid. I do need some help...

I am redoing both knuckles on my '77 FJ40. I also decided to crack open the front differential and just check for signs of wear or any breakage. Everything looks good. Couple questions: 1. The differential fluid was a gray sludge due to leakage of grease from the knuckles into the differential...

Yesterday, I spent the whole day at the mechanic's shop to reseal the front differential. I even provided genuine paper gasket to the mechanic and the mechanic also used silicon, but it still didn't fix the problem. The next morning, there were still tiny drops of oil leaking from the front...

See video below. 2004 LX470 w/ 250k miles. I'm trying to figure out my drivetrain clunk issue. The truck had the CV axles replaced by the dealer within the last couple of years, and I recently replaced the front diff bushings. This clunk is present both in the R-N-D shift and on in decel/accel...

Up for sale is a 100 Series front diff with 4.30 gears. It’s suspected of having a bad pinion bearing (I bought it as a spare for Cruisers on the Rocks) Great candidate for a regear or rebuild Asking $300 but willing to negotiate I can ship the 3rd member if you’re willing to pay for it. I’d...

Hello everyone! Can someone of you help me please :) Currently i am in a situation my front differential started howling / TLC 80 /and a new crown and pinion gears are needed. The question is are those gears interchangeable between a diff with or without locker. OEM gears for diff with locker...

I’m thinking about welding my front differential . I’m 17 so any kind of aftermarket locker is out of the spend most my time in the snow.

I have a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser, my front diff is going bad.. I am looking for a good condition still operating front differential. I am willing to pay for shipping, I am in the NE area of Florida.

Hi All, I'm new to this! I need some advice or a simple answer to my question. I own a 2005 HDJ100 with 440 000km. My front diff is shot and I'm not going to put a brand new one in because I can't afford it! I've been search for the last 6 and have just found one from a 2003 model. Both models...

I changed fluids in the rear differential, transfer case, and front differential this morning as part of baselining Pearl. Went with Mobil 1 75w-90 full synthetic GL-5 for all three. Best that can be seen from records is that fluids were last changed at a reputable Lexus dealership 5 years and...

I bought these bearings for my 1996 non-locked front differential, but they are not the correct ones. Of course I found out the hard way when I actually had everything apart, hence the packages were opened. You can zoom in and read the Toyota part numbers but let me spell out the bearing cone...

From a truck I parted out. The ring and pinion inside are damaged. I am not sure the condition of the differential but I believe it to be serviceable. Bearings are good probably could use some new seals. $200 + shipping.

I recently tried to tighten up these loose fasteners (the nuts seemed to almost be unthreaded) at the bottom of my front differential. Now they are weeping gear oil. Are the nuts just screwed to studs that are threaded into the axle housing? Or are they some kind of special fastener? If I...

Hi all, First post from a new member. New to me 2006 GX470 cv axle has a loose connection at the input to the front differential. I had thought this would be an opportunity to upgrade to a bushing but a bit a question to ECGS revealed to me that these rigs do not use the pesky needle...

Hey Mud. I've got quotes from 850-1200 for a front diff. I've got bad luck, this is the second one i've put in in 150K. First one was my fault; chewed the gears rocking it out of getting it stuck. This one (used part) failed on its own; by the time it started whining I knew it was done. Need...

I chewed up the spider gears in my 98 lx470 and would like to repair it with the 2000 up 4 pin setup. I think a late 99 will have it also. I'm willing to buy a complete diff or just the parts to upgrade it - spider gears, pins, etc. I know shipping will be much easier for the parts but I'll...
