rear diff

To make a long story short, the rear LSD on my 99 LX 470 blew up a few months ago. Instead of replacing it with another LSD, I had the shop I took it to install a locking rear axle from a 98 Land Cruiser. ABS wires and brake lines etc were swapped from the broken LSD axle to the new locking...

Hey guys... been searching but couldnt find specific answer to this... would like some input from those who have experience. Im planning to pull my 3rd member soon, ('04 LX, 280k miles) and I know the easy was is to pull the axles out about 6-8", so they are completely pulled out of the diff...

Any thoughts on this one? I searched and found one, which was a really weird seal that apparently can only get damaged if you swamp it?

I started having a vibration in the LC a few weeks ago. you can feel it in the floor, seat and steering wheel. So I replaced the ujoints with toyota parts then had the shafts balanced. problem seems to have gotten worse. I decided to take it to the dealer for a diagnosis. after 3 days, they...

Good afternoon gents Got a bent rear diff housing that needs replacement on a 1999 75 series cruiser Was looking at replacement options from other models, anyone know whether a 79 series rear diff housing would fit the 75? Or if there are other options Cheers 👍

Hi all, Differentials are a bit of a dim spot in my automotive knowledge. Can anyone help point me to the most straightforward Torsen rear diff conversion for a 2021 LC rear axle? I’m not looking for an air or e-locker, really just looking for the high torque bias LSD performance of Torsen...

My rear differential has been making alot of noise and I finally got it checked out. My mechanic says I need a new 3rd member, he said don't get a rebuilt. Problem is i'm having a hell of time tracking down an OEM. Help?

Hi all, My front driveshaft was hitting a crossmember and needed to be retubed. Another issue this friction caused was some seeming damage to the washer and lock nut of the diff assembly. Curious if I need more parts than just the nut and washer or if there would be need to replace other parts...

Just under my truck and noticed, when checking the rear driveshaft u joints, that the rear diff has what seems to me to be an excessive amount of slop/play. What is a normal amount of rotational play in the diff, rotating the driveshaft one way then the other? Can this be tighten up by torquing...

I've been trying to get my rear diff lock working again. The plugs had ripped out. And it needed the internals cleaned. I spliced back in and was still non functional. I traced it to another bad plug. Replaced that and still non functional. I can get it to actuate directly from the battery...

I’ve searched about pinions etc. This is happening only under load, and only sometimes. No rhyme or reason. Sometimes it is a pinging like this, and other times it happens quickly enough to sound like a rattle.

I need some good websites to find a rear differential rebuild for an FJ 80 series Land Cruiser. I’ve been doing some research, but have been having trouble finding a reliable website. Thank you in advance!

1973 stock FJ40. I am getting a clunking noise coming from the rear diff when in reverse. No issue at all going forward. I put it up on jackstands and ran it in reverse and I guess because there was no weight on the axle it didn't make the noise. I drained and replaced the diff fluid and...

Hi There, I replaced my rear diff lock actuator (old one badly corroded and useless) after replacing the auto height control (AHC) suspension with "dumb" OME springs and shocks. When replacing suspension, we unplugged the plugs from the sockets on the suspension AHC control module under the...

About five months of ownership under my belt now, and the number one concern and issue I had with my 97 FZJ80 w/ 171k is finally resolved: the whine is gone. Let me explain... I've spent the last five months trying to internet-diagnose all the possible sources of my LC's whine on acceleration...

Hi Folks, Coming back from Mexico, the rear diff started engaging randomly. Pretty strange when you're going 60 mph. The central diff. does not come on. Just the rear. I had to stop at the shoulder and turn the center diff and rear and front buttons on then back off and it went away. Did it...

Hi all, I just wanted to double check that I am on the right track before I spend money and pull my rear end apart. (HJ47 fully floating rear) Im loosing rear diff oil somewhere, about 1L over a 2,500km trip. Its not coming out of the pinion (no oil marks) or the breather (again no oil...

I had my truck re-geared to 4.56 in late August last year. I followed the break-in procedure for the first 500 miles, and everything has been fine (happy with the ratio with my 3FE on 33"'s driving around +5k feet). Anyhow, I was crawling around under rear of the truck doing a test fit on a new...
