I have my rack and pinion done by a cheap mechanic because I didn’t want to spend too much. They installed it without centering it and also broke my clock spring :-( now do I need to have somebody take out the rack in order to correct the steering wheel or am I able to correct the steering...
I know I’m probably the only fool who is still monkeying with different gear ratios in older Cruisers. I’m on a search for some older pinion depth shims (the ones that fit under the larger bearing cup on the pinion and allow for changing the depth setting). From what I have been able to learn...
I've got some mild vibration at 45 to 52mph from the rear of the truck. I pulled the rear driveshaft to verify and I've got a DC front driveshaft.
To correct pinion angle, it appears I have several options:
Install adjustable upper control arms. Rotate the top of the axle forward for proper...
The other day, when I went to replace my rear brake pads, I found oil *everywhere* under the back of the truck. Complete mess. Seems to be the pinion seal. I dumped a quart of gear oil into the diff and it didn't fill it. I just got back from about a 3000 mile road trip in the truck. No...
Learning diffs on my hj75 1988 troop. I have replaced the crown and in the process of installing new bearing on the pinion. There are a few sized washer shim spacers available between the pinion and bearing in .05mm increments, 11 different sizes.
In otramm's video he reuses the factory shim...
Doing some research here and can’t find anything on this subject via search.
Early 60s, before the transmission spacer was added, have a shorter front driveshaft with a CV joint at the t-case end and a single u-joint at the diff. Later 60s with the transmission spacer have a longer “regular”...
Hi,
On offer is SST09530-35010, differential pinion depth adjusting gauge. The link to another mud members post explains how the tool is used very well.

Just searched with not good answer.
What is the current best option now that Toyota has discontinued the Racks?
Napa? $579
Rock Auto SKP $230? Lares235? BBB for $408?
Anybody know if Toyota offers a reman? any good?
Thanks

For sale, 60 series ring and pinion. Front set shows little to no wear at all, rear has 230k miles, looks polished on the teeth, one chip on the pinion end. Both ran great with no issues, I re-geared and like the new ratio with my setup. Missing most of the carrier bolts. $300.
EDIT: Top...
Brand new in box. Never used. These came with a Land Cruiser I recently bought, but I don’t plan on using them. Ships from Tulsa, OK.

A while back I drained the from diff and was surprised to find it was full of green sludge. I did a full knuckle job on it to fix the axle grease leaking into it. I have had a slight ongoing pinion seal leak so I decided to replace it. Of course it cant be that simple. This is what was behind...
I'm planning to re-install the gear stacks tonight and get it all sealed back up to measure for shims.
For the spool, I pulled all of the spider/pinion gears from between the new spool and low gear/shaft (pinion shaft, pinion gears, pin, and front and rear side gears -- see pic).
After...
Just documenting this for future searches.
IME the original rear pinion flange nut (at least on 95+ FZJ80's) uses a ~4mm thick plate washer as the original nut itself is not flanged.
That original part number 90179-22011 (at some point in the past) has been superceded to 90179-22016 but the...
Hello All,
I have a 71 FJ40 with a 2UZ and an H55f on 35's. The truck drives fantastic but 5th gear is almost unusable, nobody needs to go 100mph in a spring over 40! The current ring and pinions are 4.10. What would you recommend? And since everyone likes a picture...
So I have been feeling a super subtle vibe when letting off the gas going down hill over 100kmh. it is very subtle like running over a patch of ruff road. I though it was maybe bad u joint and took the shaft off t check and found that there is a tiny amount of movement between the pinion flange...
Hi guys, I'm in the planning stages for a future rebuild of my front and rear diffs on a 1996 HZJ80, without lockers and with the factory LSD (axle code K295). No major warning signs of problems right now, but they haven't been serviced by me in the 3 years I've had it, and I doubt the previous...
Purchased a Yukon Zip Locker 3rd member from Marlin in Dec 2017 - Installed it and all was great for a while. I don't drive the my cruiser very much... and recently, with less than 5k miles on the 3rd member, a howling started to emit from the rear end and got worse very rapidly.
I jacked it up...
I'm in need of a third member for my 1980 FJ40. My current gear is 10x37. below is the thread from the 40 page I made. I am located in south Mississippi but I have friends all over so I may be able to arrange local pick up otherwise I will need to ship.
I would also love an inspection cover...
So I bought a fj60 at the start of the summer and as expected it had been previously neglected and a laundry list of repairs needed, after replacing master cylinder, front calipers and pads, wheel bearings, rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders, rebuilding knuckles and birfield, thoroughly...
