2011 Toyota Rav 4 Driveline Howl. Rear Differential Coupler Replacement

[@perspicator5779]

Cheaper and not too difficult just to replace the main bearing, but if customer is paying I get it.

Got a link for part I need mines don’t can’t find the part

[@alexmanson1762]

Great video. My differential was leaking via axle due to the seized breather. And I also had the whining sound. Recently the head gasket began leaking in to cylinder 4 & 6.After 16 yrs of owning this car, always taking care of it, Ive decided enough is enough. Time for a trade in. No more Toyota's for me. Moving on to Mazda.

The car last 16 years! What do you think you are getting from a Mazda ? 😂

@@YGORCRUZ I'll go with another Toyota if you pay for it.

[@YGORCRUZ]

@@alexmanson1762 good luck with the new Mazda

[@shortstop-u4i]

if the Mazda is made in Japan it's just as good as Toyota but I own a 2009 Mazda and it's a ford its decent but the 2016 and above Mazda are the best cars out here

[@alexmanson1762]

@@shortstop-u4i I own 2 Mazda's. 2018 & 2024. Not a hint of rust on the 2018. My other 1991 4Runner I had to get rid of it, due to rust. Mind you, I use undercoat corrosion protection on all my vehicles. So far I've been able to convince 3 co-workers not buy a Toyota. :) I luv my little Mazda "Chulapa"

[@deanmackay]

I get a whine when tapping off the accelerator. Also a jerk when letting go the accelerator. Changed diff, rear diff bearings, engine and transmission mounts. Nobody can identify the problem. The whine could be from the rear diff but not sure what jerking would be caused by as all mounts have been changed

[@PhillipBailey]

That's really hard to say without hearing it. Could be wheel bearing, axle support bearing. Try to find someone with chassis ears. That is if its noticeable on a hoist. Are tires all tge same size?

[@FullFaithRepair]

Like that little pump...great idea

[@PhillipBailey]

Yes I bought a couple off Amazon cheap. Had to add a small piece of tubing with a 90 degree bend.

[@delawareteacher1182]

Great video, I'm not sure that I can do that!

[@oldbiker9739]

sounds like encounter of the third kind lol spooky noise .

[@marsailmar1]

My AWD '08 Highlander is whining bad at 35+mph. I suspect it's the transfer case but could it be the rear diff?

[@PhillipBailey]

Most likely it's the same as this Rav

[@johnh7058]

Is this just a noise issue or can a failed bearing disable the vehicle ?

[@PhillipBailey]

@johnh7058 eventually the bearing could fail completely and cause other damage, especially if you drive at highway speeds.

[@kennylavay8492]

what did the dorman coupler cost ya./

@@kennylavay8492 my cost 1K cdn retails for $1400.00

[@higherregion]

incorrect towing causes this...we buy a lot of rav4 from auctions and 90 percent of them have this howl..even newer one with low miles..

[@PhillipBailey]

Yes pretty common problem for sure
