Hey all!
I just picked up my first Land Cruiser...1991 with 173k miles on it. I was told it needed new ujoints up front. I just got it back from the mechanic and he said the joints are fine, but my front diff needs replacing. Ugh.
I'm a newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff. Do I find someone to rebuild it? Do I find a used one online or at a junkyard? If I find one at a junkyard, how do I know if it's good? Am I better off just getting a whole front end with this kind of mileage?
Any recommendations are much appreciated.
Thanks!
