  • Front Diff Leak - Advice

    Have been away 3 weeks and wife has been driving the 120 and today I got back and drove it and thought my new tyres had gone noisey or a wheel bearing was totalled as the noise driving it was just like that. Noise got louder and quieter in line with car speed.

    Just put in the shed and got under to have a look and am now very worried. Front diff has oil all over the passenger side of it and looks like it is coming from seal around inner CV.

    Question is am I stuffed now and need a new diff or do you guys rekon put a seal in and some different oil and see if it quietens down.

    New seal mate. Did mine about November 2016 and has been all good since. Have done beach runs, bush runs and no leaks.
    Toyota price was about $65 for both seals, new diff oil $35 - $50 (depending on what you buy - Castrol/Penrite) $15 for a seal pulling tool. It took about 5hrs with breaks, but could be done in about 2-3hrs if keen.

    Cheers

      That's both seals - Left & Right, because the other will eventually fail as well.

        OK mate thanks for the feedback. I thought about doing the bearings while I am at it but after they told me at Toyota what bearings were to buy I decided I'll wait.

          So interestingly after driving for a week or two after doing those seals I still hear what sounds like either a noisy tyre or bearing. I noticed if I am driving straight and I turn slightly right to put load on the vehicle its noisy but if I turn slightly left of center it goes away.

          Any ideas or hints?

                Mine is doing the same thing too - I've been ignoring it for a while now (over 12 months) and although the noise isn't getting much worse it is a bit more prominent. Cars done 150k KM.

                I noticed that my front diff has just started leaking through the passenger side oil seal as well so I'm thinking of replacing the front bearings and CVs while the car is on the stand for the oil seal.

                Whats recommmended for bearings, Genuine or after-market? any brands better than others?

                Cheers,
                Ryan

                  OK so just to update even though the original issue was the diff seals the subsequent noise I was trying to work out ended up being the right front wheel bearings.
                  I did both sides and car is good as gold again.
