rick001 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 A mechanic at the local Toyota garage says my diff bearings are shot - my question is, now i have completed the N/A -TT conversion, should i just replace these bearings or go for TT rear diff set up and what would it entail on my N/A body??

rick001 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 He showed me play in the shafts to diff and rolled the prop shaft and it did look as though there was play - i took it in as i had a popping/clunking sound on braking (it was a free inspection) to diagnose the prob. He said the bearings were worn and needed changing or the diff uprating as now TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 There's always lift in the side bearings, there SHOULD be backlash in the CWP. Sounds as if it's something totally different to me, and it'll still do it even if you fit side bearings or another axle unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this Chris as i thought i had a collapsed rear bearing or something as per the "clunk" and "grate" sound on braking but he did not want to road test it!!! 'cos i had a freebie i imagine cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
