Never in all my time watching repair videos have I see one as excellent as this. Truthfully I am still blown away by it. Every step was crystal clear. Lighting and quality of video was the best I have ever seen PERIOD! The tips throughout the entire video were beyond helpful. The quick recap of what he did at the end such as filling the diff back up, etc just made the video fully complete. Lastly, the torque settings displayed popped out really nice and the font was perfect. I normally don’t comment on repair videos...if they are good I will give a thumbs up. For a video of this amazing quality I took the time to comment, gave it a thumbs up, saved video in my favorites and subscribed to the channel. The attention given to every detail of this video allows me to easily state this is the best repair video I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched endless numbers of video. This one has set the standard for which I will judge all other repair videos...yes it is that good. Thank you for making this video it is a true gem. Wow!!!

that's just the case with the video angle and how you're looking at it. If you're looking at the right side of the bushing pausing at 9:20, you'll probably see the debris in the groove between the bushing and the casing - you can kind see that those two surfaces are flush.

Did you inspect the diff's mounting surface prior to installing the new seal? Sometimes, during removal that portion can get scratched and the oil can weep through in between the scratched surface as well as the metal part of the seal. Is it leaking a lot? Did you also try to match the seal against the axle before installing it onto the diff? Just to double check that the seal seats properly against the diff.

Probably the most digestible video of this job. Great work. I do wonder if you can do the entire job without removing the CV from the hub side. Seems that if you removed everything but the cap and 35mm nut, you could hammer/pry out the CV from the diff and then set it the assembly just out of the way (on a jack stand ;)). Also those alignment tabs are not looking too healthy. 9:02

Can you explain why it is only a driver's side issue?? TY On my truck, I am feeling a bit of a vibration around 50 mpg but not bad and goes away above or below that speed range. This week I noticed a sound of vibration at start up. Seems like its coming from around my feet when i'm turning it over. (turning on the truck) I can feel play on the driver's side CV connection to the diff, and just a little bit of play on the passenger's side.... so I am fairly certain this is my current issue. Truck has 237k miles, still original clutch, (I haven't done the ClutchMasters Hydro bearing fix yet, but that part is now on my shelf waiting for the clutch to finally fail.....) DCSB, 4x4. For a year and a half it has Bilstein 5100s with an OME883 springs and an AAL in the rear that were installed when Toyota replaced the frame, summer 2018. So it's lifted maybe 1-2 inches. Stock tires for now, but I did just buy new wheels and am saving up for larger tires... 305's or similar.
@KFloTacoma4 жыл бұрын
i know that the driver side cv axle is connected directly to the spider gear, while the passenger side has the actuator collar and assembly and then goes into another shaft which then goes into the passenger CV axle. Toyota may have a different tolerance stack in the assembly of the passenger side diff. I can't really give a definitive answer unless I break down that front diff completely and inspect the design. Yup, it sounds like the issue you are having is indeed the needle bearing. Good luck brother!
@danielborrer2704 жыл бұрын
@@KFloTacoma When buying my bushing last week, I asked ECGS and I thought they implied that the other (passenger) side is a different type of bearing, maybe Ball type vs the axial Pin roller style of the Drivers side - also the overall Clamshell unit is Asymmetrical and each side experiences different loading....

You'll have to go in somewhat sideways and then push it all the way through

So this only needs to be done only on driver side?

Yes - just the driver side

Does all this apply to a 2013 tacoma? I pulled everything out and simply do not see the pin bearings. Is the pin bearing only on the driver side. I'm asking as I only removed the passenger side.

it's on the driver side only

Please don't use a pickle fork on those ball joints, it is very hard not to damage the boots. Get a pitman arm/tie rod/ball joint puller. Also why the hell didn't you PB blast your axle nut?

Hi, excuse my ignorance but, why it's recommended to replace that ring? Should be a good idea to do it on all lifted vehicles or justo tacos or to any car? Thanks for your great video and explanation! 👌👌😎

This is more for lifted tacomas, 4 runners and I believe fj cruisers. Lifting causes driveline vibrations. This replacement fixes the issue

Does this apply to 20!8 tacoma as well? I see 2005-2017 everywhere on line

Which direction does the axle seal go in? Does the spring face outside or inside?
@KFloTacoma4 жыл бұрын
I'm not really understanding the question - I'm going to need you to reword. If you watch the video, the axle seals can only go one way at the hub end as well as the differential end.
@jordand45164 жыл бұрын
The spring side is the back of the seal which should face the inside of the diff.
