Hello all.
I'm new to posting but not to the community.
I have had my gx for about 3 years and have been slowly working on it to get it where I want it.
Today I was in the process of replacing the front drivers side differential needle bearing with a bushing from nitro gear. After tearing it all down to the point of accessing the bearing I found it to have what appeared to be a bushing already in place.
The bushing in question doesn't look like any of the after market option that you can buy.
My question to the group is. Has anyone else seen or come across this type of bushing ? It is the same inner diameter as the nitro gear bushing.

any help would be appreciated.

On another note, I may have a new nitro gear bushing and extraction tool for sale in the near future.
 
All full time does not have needle bearing. Maybe anything with ADD got needle bearing.

I got 2016 Tacoma front diff on my GX with the needle bearing. Never notice any vibration that people mention yet.
 
@Jstawgn is correct. No needle bearings in any GX. There is an intermediate shaft bearing further in the diff on the PS side.
