Re: The Diff club...
Hi everyone.
I'm new to pradopoint, usefull info here , good stuf,
Any way ' bit concerned about the amount of broken diff's on Prado's
i have an 03 GXL TD man as left factory + bullbar , great car , have been quite hard on it , off road , no problems as yet .
After reading some of the stories on here , i tend to think the problem my lie in the axle housing , On my Prado , it look's like a one peice pressed steel item,Not very heavy duty looking!!. on the 90 series the middle part is pressed steel , with the axle tube,s welded on ,
Could it be the axle it self flexing, causeing the crown wheel to flex , so breaking the teeth
on the cron wheel ?
So a cure could be to stregthen the axle , could be a bolt on . or a weld on item ,
there is kit's out there for other 4x4's , can only help matters
Just a thought, would be keen to hear any thought' s of other member's on this
