Little PSA announcement hope this helps as I've been digging for the details for a few days. So the fluidic or viscous coupler on the Rav is the same as the Sienna and several other make and model AWD vehicles. My wife's 2011 Sienna Limited AWD has made this God awful whinning hydraulic pump noise going on 2 years since the van had about 55K miles on it. Dealership said it needed a complete new diff that installed would be $3-4k. There are some slight differences in the part numbers as some were changed up as the years got newer but everything I read says the info below should fix you up. It's suggested to coat the seal surfaces of the bearing with some RTV silicone to seal out the water and dirt. Also get a quart of 75W80 GL5 gear oil. I couldn't find it but did find Valvoline 75W90 GL5 which was about $18 for a quart. Watch the wires when you dissaemble, you might need to dig the sealent loose to let the wires slip thru. Also look to make sure the wires aren't cracked or broken and needing re-soldered. When done seal the hole back up with more RTV also. $200 for that bearing, you got bent over hard and dry. Go to toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com and order some or all of the parts below. While it was apart I figured cheap to replace the parts. Most likely you only need the 90363-95007 which is the NSK 95DSF01 (measured at 120mm OD x 95mm ID x 16.95 mm thick).

Glad you found this. Figured you were in the states. I am really good for research and anything i found in the states for cheap would not ship to canada. I did find your cheaper option and i am glad you did but they just would not ship to canada. I found a kit from Australia but it was 2 months delivery so i went with the expensive option. I will like your post so everyone can see it up top and get the fix for cheap. Toyota’s fix is BS.
Sig220Euro - is their a video or forum link you can post for step by step? What is the oil for? This video the unit looks sealed and I didn’t see the need for draining prior to removal. Thank you ALL for your help - we lost our job with corona layoffs and every dollar matters!
@@Fergdog4Ever I got the oil as on one older vid where they did a coupler on a Vibe, very similar, they had a little oil seep. And i wasn't sure if there might have been anything get to hot to transfer heat and cook the diff oil. So had him drain and change it. I'll see if I can find a vid but wasn't really a good one of the specific rebuild and my mechanic wasn't up for idea of me filming him do it since it was his first time to try it.
Thank you! My 2009 Toyota Rav 4 was making the same noise. Though this is not a typical repair I would tackle, the repair estimate was somewhere in the $2000 neighborhood! Your video was well done, and I had the basic tools necessary. I did run into a problem putting unit back into the housing all the way. I was tapping around the edges in a circular fashion, but mine ceased up only part way in. I ended up bringing the differential to a shop where they quickly pressed it together with my new bearing for $20. The total repair was $130 (bearing) + $20 (pressed together) = $150. The noise is gone and I saved a ton!! Thanks :)
2k for labor ? where at ? It shouldn`t be no more than $200 if you go to a regular mechanic and not a dealership. You did good in doing it yourself though.
Hey thanks for this. Took my Venza in today for a driveline whine. They said it was this coupling. No serviceable parts inside...$3500 plus installation for a completely new rear diff coupler (Southern Ontario pricing). Came home, googled the issue and found you. I'm really hoping the RAV 4 and Venza drive lines are similar. And all for a single bearing, easily removed? Wow. That's dealer thievery at a whole new level.....
Thanks for the video, was the case for my 2009 Toyota RAV4 v6. Purchased the bearing off eBay, had the same number stamped as the old bearing. Came with a new dust shield but ended up using old one. My old bearing had an o ring going around it so reused with the new bearing. I recommend going to Harbor Freight and buying a floor press vs beating the living hell out of it to get it out, bought the 20 ton for $149. It will press in evenly vs possibly hanging up the bearing when tapping the housing on. Hope this helps.
Did the same on a 2013 Venza a few months ago. Dealer wanted $2600, bought both bearings (replaced the large only) including dust shield/guard ring from ebay (canada)
Some possibly useful tips. I used a large brass punch and a large hammer to separate the coupler from the housing or shell hitting near the bolts like he was doing. It then dropped out of the coupler and the bearing was still in the shell. Had to heat it up with a propane torch to force the bearing from the shell it was rusty refuse to come out. The shell has a edge on it so you pound toward the inner orange side. Otherwise you'll be pounding all day. Do your work on a bench if possible is a pain to drive bearing out and then in on concrete floor. (It's important to tap this bearing in evenly around as possible can hang up on you.) Then like he said you use a brass punch to tap it around the large coupler half. Then you'll have to again heat it up to tap the shell back over the coupler. Be careful with the torch do not overheat it. Only use heat if have to. I used a small piece of 2/4 and a hammer to drive it onto the coupler housing and then on the top side of the shell to get even flush to where it originally was when got toward the end. I used a piece 2/4 to get the deflector seated then used the old bearing to drive it in the rest of the way.Take pictures and note the position of the deflector and the bearing so you will know it's where it needs to be when you put new ones in. Don't overtighten bolts or force off will strip or break off housing is wimpy aluminium and somebody broke a bolt off my drive shaft so it can happen. Use lots of blaster to loosen let it set. Mark the drive shaft position to the differential. Small inner bearing seamed okay so didn't mess with it. And my bearing from Ebay didn't come with the rubber o ring slot so I hope it will work anyways.
I have just experienced the exact same issue... Single bearing making huge humming sound. Bearing inner race number 61819 2RS and outer race 81 OB 35 . My original had an very thin 'O' Ring groove on the outer race. All cool, thanks for your video as it helped me to confirm there are no other big or medium bearings to replace. Just that one large one. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can someone explain when you get the whirring noise? I have a mazda with a viscous coupler and I can hear a whining noise on acceleration but mostly on deceleration... Have not been able to pin point it yet - I assume the Mazda has a similar bearing in the coupler which is why I was hoping someone would describe their symptoms in detail...
hi bro. are you experiencing same situation as this one? ua-cam.com/video/u5AvOxTX0rI/v-deo.html please let me know. because i have same issue like this one.
03 Toyota matrix brought to Toyota for this exact problem and they said that the whole coupler needed to be replaced. I said you couldn't just by one part and the price tag was $5,000 out the door. 3500 for the parts. The car is not even worth that much so looking for other options and I hear eBay is the only way to get these parts separately.
Thanks again for video..I just did this job on 08’ limited RAV4.Noise gone now.I ordered same bearing you did,but my original had an o ring on it which surprised me and it was too late at that point and needed on the road.Researched the heck out of this figured it would not have o ring up till the 09’ .I do see a seller on eBay does offer the bearing with o ring and one does not so it seems pot luck?I reused the old deflector.All in about $80 for everything.Got bearing from dealer.
If your mechanic claims ignorance about this sound, don't believe them. This is such a well-known problem that Toyota pasted labels inside new owner's manuals admitting you will experience this noise. So, your mechanic probably knows there is no genuine and lasting fix for this problem. When the noise comes back, s/he knows that you'll be back in demanding a refund! Even Toyota knows that a total recall is not a permanent solution. I'm no automotive engineer, but somebody screwed up and RAV4 owners had to pay top dollar to experience this annoying noise. FREE WORKAROUND: When you hear that annoying growl, shift from "D" into "3" to experience blessed relief!
Thank you, I am having a hard time finding the correct dust/wear shield for the bearing…is there a part number or certain term for the replacement shield? Thanks again.
I looked last week in the responses and somebody left a listing of the actual Toyota part numbers including the required shields. This response seems to be gone now?
Does it only happen when letting off the gas? My car is having a issue when going about 45 and letting off the gas there is a grinding noise... as you go faster and let off the gas the noise gets worse.. the wheel bearings seem fine, cv axle shafts look okay, a small amount of play but nothing too serious.. carrier bearing looks fine on driveline.. I’m kinda lost
for some reason i can find your 2nd video about this if i search the part but not your channel. next, if you are doing this job that often add some anti seize to those bolts so they will come out better.
Check with your dealer as a lot of the Ravs had this covered under a recall or service deal. Toyota gave Sienna owners that have the same unit in our vans a big middle finger and won't cover it.
Also one more super important question and your honest opinion please !! How bad did i get ripped i paid 9500.00 for a 2010 base black in color paints decent some blemishes on the roof but no big dents or defects its pretty clean inside non smoker runs great Motor seems strong trans the same ....aside from the noise i desribed in the previous comment its fine ....im just wondering how these things hold up are they as reliable as they say and the resale value are these ravs as good as people say and what i read ?? I feel like you would know better than most lol also if i decide to keep this thing are there any other things i should check or worry about on the 10 model ?? any help would be awesome man 🙏 and if you say it wasnt a solid choice im ready to sell it and get me another 04 and up lincoln town car ive had 3 and there just bullet proof gas hogs there huge but for the most part are bulletproof !!! but i heard and read so are ravs so its like what do i do lol i have a baby otw and its just stressful bro !!! thank u for your time i hope u see these soon and get back to me !! I'm telling all my friends like n subscribe !!!!!
Hey! You know what as long as you can keep the Rav from rusting they literally go forever with no hickups. We just had exhaust work, the diff bearing, U joints in the driveshaft. Otherwise just oil changes and drive!
I've been looking all day but I'm trying to find out if this solution he just diagnosed is related to brake squealing? I'm noticing after my 2015 Rav4 LE sits for a whole day, when I go to leave work, I can hear it and it can probably be heard from even further away. I'm also noticing after its been parked, when I put it in reverse, sometimes there is a "clunking sound". Not sure how to describe it but the car is still pretty new, just reached 50,000 and was certified. To me, no new car should be having these kind of issues.
You are completely right.. shouldn’t have these issues but that is how the world is today whether we like it or not. That being said no relation to brakes this. It is all the time whether braking or not.
heres a question... since Rav 4 has a part time 4wd... (mine2008 ),, the rear differential is leaking .. but if its out of oil it should be ok if I dont lock the 4wd to engage the rear differential...
I have a noise (since recently) too from my viscous coupler on my Matrix 2010 awd , but my coupler is leaking since 2 years , dealer told it's sealed and I need to change it
2010 176k miles, that noise probably started in mine at 120-140k miles but I ignored it (there's a toyota bulliten on it if you google it actually). But... now that I'm doing all the wheel bearings, I figured I'd look into it. So my question is, did you have to refill the gear oil?
@@Schneids15 I have a suspicion that this is actually Toyota PN 9036395003 - which is only $30 many places, however I'm not sure. If you just copy that number into UA-cam search and see what comes up - maybe someone who speaks Russian can confirm what they're saying. This is apparently a very common worldwide problem.
Happy to report that my $28 bearing direct from Toyota came in.... and... great news! It’s stamped with the same part number you described in this video: 95DSF01! That means everyone here can save even more if you buy direct from Toyota! Only catch is it doesn’t include the shield which I will also order from Toyota I think it’s $8
How long did this fix last for everyone? Replaced bearing and dust deflector on 2008 Rav and less than year later it is noisy again. Maybe didn’t do it right or bad part. Considering buying whole coupler assembly this time. It is expensive but maybe it will be longer lasting? Thanks

@@JRInnes can you drive at high speeds and/or for long distances in “3” vs “D”? Is this bad for the engine or transmission? Update: I purchased a rebuilt entire coupler off of eBay for around $200. 6 months in, I feel it is starting to make the slightest noise again. It is not as loud at the same point in time, as replacing just the bearing, but I fear you may be right regarding permanent resolution. Toyota needs to address this.
@@AdvancedReliefChiropractic Not being an expert, I don't know if there is any downside to driving in "3" vs "D". However, here's what that knowledgeable RAV4 owner wrote on my original post: "By shifting back to 3rd, all you are doing is manually making it a 3 speed transmission..you eliminated the overdrive..you can claim its a flaw design but its a common problem on all rav4s..your transmission is in the front..the rear grind is your rear differential..putting in 3rd is like driving a clutch car..you are constantly on the pedal and the torque is on the drivetrain..once you shift to the next gear there will be times when the car slows down and the torque is no longer on the drivetrain so it relaxes and now you have the grind...once you downshift the engine revs up, torque is back on the drive train."
So.. when you removed those other big bolts nothing moved and you could get those lined back up ok?Did the brackets they hold move easily from around the hub when you got them out?I assume you just drained the differential when you popped it loose instead of using drain plug?I changed mine one time but it was a pain getting in there to fill.
do you have a video of the sound? I'm trying to figure out if this is what is wrong with my 2009 rav4 v6. It gets a high pitched whistling/whining sound that only happens when I press the gas. as soon as i let off the gas the sound goes away. Its almost like a sound of an airline winding up for take off... haha
@@ryansaba6807 still not sure. one mechanic thought it was the transmission. few months ago my transmission would slip when shifting gears but now it is completely fine... so at this point I'm not sure. If it is transmission I will drive it until it actually needs replacing as it is very expensive fix.
Hey firstly thank you your awesome for doing this vid. And helping so many countless people not get ripped the hell off by evil shady mechanics n dealers !! second i have a serious question i just bought a 2010 rav 4 base for 9500 it has 96k miles i hope i didnt do to bad even tho i know i paid a nice markup thats a diff story lol but the market is f'n crazy here in md where i live and i have a baby due any moment now so im broke spent every penny on this thing and it was as is unfortunately !! so like i was saying i just noticed this today after a doc appt earlier when i turn right like either into a parkn spot or just turn right and keep her in a circle there is a noise that sounds like a bearing maybe just starting or it sounds like that vague scrape when you have when you rust on your rotors after afew weeks of sitting if that makes sense lol ?? I was wondering if that could be the coupler starting to go bad or i did notice the new brake pads on the rear kinda are touching or covering should i say a part of the brake rotor thats rusted it looks like they didnt turn the rotors or there the wrong arse pads and are too big for that rotor i hope that makes sense but im not sure of its that or the coupler or a bearing or what else it could be ??? are there way to test each thing to see what it is ? Im praying that its something little and cheap i cant afford a big problem !! im a old school mustang guy so toyotas and awd man that stuffs foreign to me i know the jest but thats it lol brother any help or advice is highly appreciated i dont have money to tale it newhere and all else fails i have to fix it myself !!! Please help !!!! 🙏 Thank you and thank you for all the people youve helped by doing this i was tripping till i watched this video !!
I have been getting a soft whine while driving and now the AWD, Check Engine, and Trac control light came on dash as well. Wondering if this is the issue. Did you get any lights come on dash?
@@christopherdalcourt3909 hi im having roar/huming noise at around 30mph to 40mph in 07 rav4 i check for play in wheel hubs seems they seems ok and im confused what to change rear differental or rear wheel hubs noise not that loud
This Might be the same problem I have and they are saying it's the Transfer Case (but when they check the transfer case..the oil and transmission is clean and no metal strippings)
I’m doing the bearing change today didn’t finish tonight been banging the bearing out from the housing for an hour will continue tomorrow. I even use gear puller but it doesn’t move. Was thinking to torch the housing and bearing but its aluminum don’t know if it’s a good idea. I’m from innisfil Ontario. Ordered my bearing kit from febest.eu paid around $100 with the custom taxes.
Right on. I am only about an hour away👍🏻 royal distributing parts central in innisfil. Was through there last Saturday. Mine took a lot of hammering. When i say a lot i mean a lot. A press would have been handy but i got it. I was also rushed so my GF could get to work.
I wanted to hear that hum to compare to our 2008 RAV4. Starts around 20mph up to 40mph but seems to get quieter when you let off the ignition. I’m worried about the transaxle or transmission. (Only 73,000 miles but driven on a dirt road it’s whole life…tranny fluid was black)
Thanks for this again, but you skipped over re installing the unit with new bearing back into the housing.Did you put it on the coupler or down into the housing?Pound it in?Still not sure what part fits my 08'?Looks just like yours.Whats seller did you get it from.?Should have that info on your Ebay account.thanks
We have 2011 RAV 4 2.5L with AWD making similar noise. Did you repair and if so did the same parts mentioned in this great video work for the 2011 model as well?
@@Schneids15 beleive or not the rear noise still noticeble at 40 + mph during replacement mechanic noticed bad drive driveshaft u joint not sure if that causes that rumble noise
if you dont change this will it ruin your toyota? My rav4 started making a whining sound and suspect its this coupler because i dont need to change my tansmission fluid for another 20k
Hi ,thanks for great video! I have the whine noise when accelerating from 30 to 60mph but it stops whining when I stop pushing accelerating pedal. Do you think it will be differential bearing?
Very informative thanks. I have similar noise but it's the earlier 2001 phase 2 Rav4. Will it be the same part do you know. Also do you have the part number/make. I'm in the UK, having trouble identifying the part name/number.
@@Schneids15 Just found out they are identical. Thanks for all your information. Ordered your list of parts from Toyota Parts Direct for 153 Canadian----- freight in. From Canada
Hi, I think I have this noise on my car. Do you know if this bearing is suitable for uk model 2007 2.0 petrol as sold in UK? Does the noise come from the front of the car because I'm sure it's coming from the front of my car. Many thanks.

This price is crazy. The bearing is the same as a Matrix bearing. I bought both and only paid 124.00 in Canada. Toyota did not like that I knew what a wanted. They wanted 1000.00 for whole unit. It is a simple job…about an hour
It is messy if you don’t. You caught me at a good time. Let me know if you have any more issues. Make sure you remove that suspension brace or else the cover won’t come off like i say in the video
Incorrect towing causes this. We buy a lot of Rav4 & Nissan Rogues from auctions (salvage & repos) and 75 percent of them have bad differentials. I bought many new rav4s with super low mileage with the bad bearings.
I honestly think the bearing is just way too small for the design. I have replaced 2 now and the 2nd is failing as well. By towing do you mean the vehicle towing a trailer or the vehicle being towed?
@@Schneids15 towed with back wheels down and front of car up..Most new rav4's 2013-2018 I buy from auction usually have this bearing hum.. Because towers don't care and haul them to and from auction..
No dust ring must be bought separate. From what i see its the root cause that ends up leaving rap get in to the front bearing. Betting this is a bigger issue up north where we have winters with road salt to add to corrosion or in places where its wet a lot
Just bought an ‘02, and it’s making a growling noise toward the rear end. Diff fluid is good, rear wheel bearings are good, so I’m thinking this may be the culprit. Anyone have other thoughts?? 165,000 miles.
I need to know if this will make the vehicle not move. I think this is the orobkem on my 2008 rav4 the seals ar definitely gone its leaking everywhere but the bitch will NOT MOVE its absolutely 1000% not the engine, transmission , cv axels, hubs, rotors,breaks, or the drive shaft. But it just stopped moving. Everything else moves but nothing catches and its got oil everywhere now. All around the outside of the cas.
Also I ment to tell you that sound is coming from the right rear I think !but definitely in the rear only when your turning right !? Also driving Any other way it's quiet !!??
@@Schneids15 hey I can't tell if we're it's coming from the back or the front but it only really does it making right turns how can I check for the wheel bearings? And what else should I be lookingfor ? sound like a bearing tho or maybe something rubbing Its driving me nuttz the place I got it from gaslit me and told me it's normal smfh
Also when I jack up the tires on this it's a 2010 4x4 should the wheels spin pretty fairly easy I'm wondering if maybe I have a semi locked up brake caliber as well ?? How can I tell what it is wheel bearing or ??
The climate/ elements the vehicle has been in definitely has an effect on stuff. Hotter climates etc may fail sooner due to the heat on the seal. We have salty grimy roads to blame in canada.
FYI: That's just a plain clutch coupler, electrically controlled, not a viscous coupler. Toyota 4WD is not a true limited slip AWD, it lacks a central diff.
@@Schneids15 Not likely, AFAIK from 2006 are all electric. The electrical connector is on the differential and an electromagnet in there attracts the armature on the coupler. Good job though! toyota-club.net/files/faq/11-01-01_faq_atc_eng.htm

Bought the parts online on eBay, but I’m having a tough time finding a mechanic to do the work. Anyone in Ohio have a mechanic recommendation who will do this for me? I’m not mechanically inclined at all to do it myself.
My rave 4 makes a loud whineing noise. The noise intensifies with acceleration and decrease with deceleration. Sounds like a airplane is ready to lift off. I've changed all 4 wheel bearings new pads and rotors. My next step is to change out the coupler bearing.
@@Schneids15 In your video your phone died during the pounding out process.How hard was that and would a press possibly be needed or heat to the casting?
Yes it did. It was really hard. A press could be helpful for sure. Be hard to get on it though and the aluminum was so delicate i would be leery of pressing to hard on it. It took a lot of time but i kept pounding in circles and it came apart.
In my case here in South Africa, easy coast side, river crossings at a local private game park and Spa did not help. 😂😂 See www.gwahumbe.co.za just one of the places nearby where we play...
Little PSA announcement hope this helps as I've been digging for the details for a few days.
So the fluidic or viscous coupler on the Rav is the same as the Sienna and several other make and model AWD vehicles. My wife's 2011 Sienna Limited AWD has made this God awful whinning hydraulic pump noise going on 2 years since the van had about 55K miles on it. Dealership said it needed a complete new diff that installed would be $3-4k. There are some slight differences in the part numbers as some were changed up as the years got newer but everything I read says the info below should fix you up. It's suggested to coat the seal surfaces of the bearing with some RTV silicone to seal out the water and dirt. Also get a quart of 75W80 GL5 gear oil. I couldn't find it but did find Valvoline 75W90 GL5 which was about $18 for a quart. Watch the wires when you dissaemble, you might need to dig the sealent loose to let the wires slip thru. Also look to make sure the wires aren't cracked or broken and needing re-soldered. When done seal the hole back up with more RTV also.
$200 for that bearing, you got bent over hard and dry.
Go to toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com and order some or all of the parts below. While it was apart I figured cheap to replace the parts. Most likely you only need the 90363-95007 which is the NSK 95DSF01 (measured at 120mm OD x 95mm ID x 16.95 mm thick). All with shipping was under $85 bucks for me today 03APR2020

The noise is gone and I saved a ton!! Thanks :)
Toyota has a TSB for this. It has all part #s for updated parts
2k for labor ? where at ? It shouldn`t be no more than $200 if you go to a regular mechanic and not a dealership. You did good in doing it yourself though.
Terry, did you order the exact bearing in the description? I need to fix the same problem but I’m worried I’m going to order the wrong bearing…
Hey thanks for this. Took my Venza in today for a driveline whine. They said it was this coupling. No serviceable parts inside...$3500 plus installation for a completely new rear diff coupler (Southern Ontario pricing). Came home, googled the issue and found you. I'm really hoping the RAV 4 and Venza drive lines are similar. And all for a single bearing, easily removed? Wow. That's dealer thievery at a whole new level.....
Yes it is. I imagine the venza will be the same. Diff may be a different bearing but same concept. This took me a long time to diagnose.
Disgusting how they tried to rip you off. $3500 ? You can get a used Camry for that price. They are trying to charge you over $3000 an hour for labor.
Awesome!! Great video!! I have the same issue... 2009 Rav4. Very much appreciate you taking the time to make the video!!!
Did you order the parts - I have 2010 with same issue and trying to source the correct parts.
Thanks for the video, was the case for my 2009 Toyota RAV4 v6.
Purchased the bearing off eBay, had the same number stamped as the old bearing. Came with a new dust shield but ended up using old one. My old bearing had an o ring going around it so reused with the new bearing.
I recommend going to Harbor Freight and buying a floor press vs beating the living hell out of it to get it out, bought the 20 ton for $149. It will press in evenly vs possibly hanging up the bearing when tapping the housing on.
Hope this helps.
Did you put the bearing on the actual coupler first or put it into the housing then tap the housing down on to the coupler assy. .
Did the same on a 2013 Venza a few months ago.
Dealer wanted $2600, bought both bearings (replaced the large only) including dust shield/guard ring from ebay (canada)
Samuel Johansson they took from me 3300 just for checking in buffalo NY Toyota west herr big cheating and they no do any repair
Any chance you got that eBay link? My 2011 Venza is doing the same thing and the Stealership wants 3 grand.
Some possibly useful tips. I used a large brass punch and a large hammer to separate the coupler from the housing or shell hitting near the bolts like he was doing. It then dropped out of the coupler and the bearing was still in the shell. Had to heat it up with a propane torch to force the bearing from the shell it was rusty refuse to come out. The shell has a edge on it so you pound toward the inner orange side. Otherwise you'll be pounding all day. Do your work on a bench if possible is a pain to drive bearing out and then in on concrete floor. (It's important to tap this bearing in evenly around as possible can hang up on you.) Then like he said you use a brass punch to tap it around the large coupler half. Then you'll have to again heat it up to tap the shell back over the coupler. Be careful with the torch do not overheat it. Only use heat if have to. I used a small piece of 2/4 and a hammer to drive it onto the coupler housing and then on the top side of the shell to get even flush to where it originally was when got toward the end. I used a piece 2/4 to get the deflector seated then used the old bearing to drive it in the rest of the way.Take pictures and note the position of the deflector and the bearing so you will know it's where it needs to be when you put new ones in. Don't overtighten bolts or force off will strip or break off housing is wimpy aluminium and somebody broke a bolt off my drive shaft so it can happen. Use lots of blaster to loosen let it set. Mark the drive shaft position to the differential. Small inner bearing seamed okay so didn't mess with it. And my bearing from Ebay didn't come with the rubber o ring slot so I hope it will work anyways.
No O ring on mine either and no leaks.
I have just experienced the exact same issue... Single bearing making huge humming sound. Bearing inner race number 61819 2RS and outer race 81 OB 35 . My original had an very thin 'O' Ring groove on the outer race.
All cool, thanks for your video as it helped me to confirm there are no other big or medium bearings to replace. Just that one large one. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for an awesome video (or 2😂)
I got mine out in 30 minutes thanks to you!
Thanks my 2008 is making that noise. You just saved me 1500 dollars!
Wooohoo! Exactly why i made this video. Glad it helped. Josh
Excellent video. It's very clear and I appreciate the part#.
Can someone explain when you get the whirring noise? I have a mazda with a viscous coupler and I can hear a whining noise on acceleration but mostly on deceleration... Have not been able to pin point it yet - I assume the Mazda has a similar bearing in the coupler which is why I was hoping someone would describe their symptoms in detail...
I have this same noise on my 2016. Warranty will cover it. Thanks for the video
How did u fix it
hi bro. are you experiencing same situation as this one? ua-cam.com/video/u5AvOxTX0rI/v-deo.html please let me know. because i have same issue like this one.
my rav4 also a 2016
Can you post video before and after? I think I have a similar problem.
03 Toyota matrix brought to Toyota for this exact problem and they said that the whole coupler needed to be replaced. I said you couldn't just by one part and the price tag was $5,000 out the door. 3500 for the parts. The car is not even worth that much so looking for other options and I hear eBay is the only way to get these parts separately.
Thanks again for video..I just did this job on 08’ limited RAV4.Noise gone now.I ordered same bearing you did,but my original had an o ring on it which surprised me and it was too late at that point and needed on the road.Researched the heck out of this figured it would not have o ring up till the 09’ .I do see a seller on eBay does offer the bearing with o ring and one does not so it seems pot luck?I reused the old deflector.All in about $80 for everything.Got bearing from dealer.
If your mechanic claims ignorance about this sound, don't believe them. This is such a well-known problem that Toyota pasted labels inside new owner's manuals admitting you will experience this noise. So, your mechanic probably knows there is no genuine and lasting fix for this problem. When the noise comes back, s/he knows that you'll be back in demanding a refund! Even Toyota knows that a total recall is not a permanent solution. I'm no automotive engineer, but somebody screwed up and RAV4 owners had to pay top dollar to experience this annoying noise. FREE WORKAROUND: When you hear that annoying growl, shift from "D" into "3" to experience blessed relief!
@@JRInnes ex h
Just got done ordering the no1 and no2 coupler bearings for 167.... I am more than ok with that. Better than 1000+....
Thank you, I am having a hard time finding the correct dust/wear shield for the bearing…is there a part number or certain term for the replacement shield? Thanks again.
Do you know if the stud can be replaced without taking it apart? One of mine is sheared off
I looked last week in the responses and somebody left a listing of the actual Toyota part numbers including the required shields. This response seems to be gone now?
I have that comment pinned at the very top. You will have to press read more on it and it will show it. Let me know if this doesn’t work.
@@Schneids15 Thanks for your response. Its not there any more. There was a row of approx 6 lines with different OEM Toyota part numbers.
@@Schneids15 I see it today. Thanks for your help.
Great to hear. I checked and tried to copy and paste text but it wouldn’t allow me too.0
Does it only happen when letting off the gas? My car is having a issue when going about 45 and letting off the gas there is a grinding noise... as you go faster and let off the gas the noise gets worse.. the wheel bearings seem fine, cv axle shafts look okay, a small amount of play but nothing too serious.. carrier bearing looks fine on driveline.. I’m kinda lost
Happens all the time but may start only noticing it when letting off.
for some reason i can find your 2nd video about this if i search the part but not your channel. next, if you are doing this job that often add some anti seize to those bolts so they will come out better.
Very odd. Yep well hadn’t planned on ever having to touch that again. Bolts came out fine the 2nd time around though.
Hi I'm having the same problem with my 2008 Toyota RAV4 do you know what I need to fix the problem with my car?
Any help please 🙏
Thank you!
Check with your dealer as a lot of the Ravs had this covered under a recall or service deal. Toyota gave Sienna owners that have the same unit in our vans a big middle finger and won't cover it.
Also one more super important question and your honest opinion please !! How bad did i get ripped i paid 9500.00 for a 2010 base black in color paints decent some blemishes on the roof but no big dents or defects its pretty clean inside non smoker runs great Motor seems strong trans the same ....aside from the noise i desribed in the previous comment its fine ....im just wondering how these things hold up are they as reliable as they say and the resale value are these ravs as good as people say and what i read ?? I feel like you would know better than most lol also if i decide to keep this thing are there any other things i should check or worry about on the 10 model ?? any help would be awesome man 🙏 and if you say it wasnt a solid choice im ready to sell it and get me another 04 and up lincoln town car ive had 3 and there just bullet proof gas hogs there huge but for the most part are bulletproof !!! but i heard and read so are ravs so its like what do i do lol i have a baby otw and its just stressful bro !!! thank u for your time i hope u see these soon and get back to me !! I'm telling all my friends like n subscribe !!!!!
Hey! You know what as long as you can keep the Rav from rusting they literally go forever with no hickups. We just had exhaust work, the diff bearing, U joints in the driveshaft. Otherwise just oil changes and drive!
Should the pinion seal be replaced at the same time ? Or does the coupler use gear oil, mine had gear oil in it but seal looks good
Yes mine had gear oil in it every time. I wouldn’t worry about the seal.
I've been looking all day but I'm trying to find out if this solution he just diagnosed is related to brake squealing? I'm noticing after my 2015 Rav4 LE sits for a whole day, when I go to leave work, I can hear it and it can probably be heard from even further away. I'm also noticing after its been parked, when I put it in reverse, sometimes there is a "clunking sound". Not sure how to describe it but the car is still pretty new, just reached 50,000 and was certified. To me, no new car should be having these kind of issues.
You are completely right.. shouldn’t have these issues but that is how the world is today whether we like it or not. That being said no relation to brakes this. It is all the time whether braking or not.
heres a question... since Rav 4 has a part time 4wd... (mine2008 ),, the rear differential is leaking .. but if its out of oil it should be ok if I dont lock the 4wd to engage the rear differential...
Sorry but all the components still move. You will ruin your differntial.
@@Schneids15 ic lol... thx
where did you get the new front seal ring that protects the bearing????
It came with the kit i bought off ebay.
was the noise constant or at certain speed? mine is doinf intermittent noise only at 40-45 miles per hour. Thank you
Is it the same on HIGHLANDER?
I have a noise (since recently) too from my viscous coupler on my Matrix 2010 awd , but my coupler is leaking since 2 years , dealer told it's sealed and I need to change it
Exactly. Do this method and it will solve your issue. Dealer tells you it is sealed but it is not.
2010 176k miles, that noise probably started in mine at 120-140k miles but I ignored it (there's a toyota bulliten on it if you google it actually). But... now that I'm doing all the wheel bearings, I figured I'd look into it. So my question is, did you have to refill the gear oil?
No gear oil fill. A very minor amount leaked out.
@@Schneids15 I have a suspicion that this is actually Toyota PN 9036395003 - which is only $30 many places, however I'm not sure. If you just copy that number into UA-cam search and see what comes up - maybe someone who speaks Russian can confirm what they're saying. This is apparently a very common worldwide problem.
9036395007 actually. 003 was replaced by 007. Will try and report back.
Happy to report that my $28 bearing direct from Toyota came in.... and... great news! It’s stamped with the same part number you described in this video: 95DSF01! That means everyone here can save even more if you buy direct from Toyota! Only catch is it doesn’t include the shield which I will also order from Toyota I think it’s $8
Joe Did It - nice detective work! Was this a Venza or RAV, front or rear.....or does it matter.
How long did this fix last for everyone? Replaced bearing and dust deflector on 2008 Rav and less than year later it is noisy again. Maybe didn’t do it right or bad part. Considering buying whole coupler assembly this time. It is expensive but maybe it will be longer lasting? Thanks
Still working about 2 years now. Maybe a bad bearing off the hop?
What exactly did Toyota did to the revised parts to fix this issue? Maybe the TSB will shed some light on this

@@JRInnes can you drive at high speeds and/or for long distances in “3” vs “D”? Is this bad for the engine or transmission?
Update: I purchased a rebuilt entire coupler off of eBay for around $200. 6 months in, I feel it is starting to make the slightest noise again. It is not as loud at the same point in time, as replacing just the bearing, but I fear you may be right regarding permanent resolution. Toyota needs to address this.
@@AdvancedReliefChiropractic Not being an expert, I don't know if there is any downside to driving in "3" vs "D". However, here's what that knowledgeable RAV4 owner wrote on my original post: "By shifting back to 3rd, all you are doing is manually making it a 3 speed transmission..you eliminated the overdrive..you can claim its a flaw design but its a common problem on all rav4s..your transmission is in the front..the rear grind is your rear differential..putting in 3rd is like driving a clutch car..you are constantly on the pedal and the torque is on the drivetrain..once you shift to the next gear there will be times when the car slows down and the torque is no longer on the drivetrain so it relaxes and now you have the grind...once you downshift the engine revs up, torque is back on the drive train."
What kind of gasket maker would you recommend? Did you use Permatex Ultra Grey?
That would work. I always use permatex the right stuff
@@Schneids15 Appreciate the quick reply, and thanks for the awesome video.
Was the noise constant or only at certain speeds?
I have a similar noise but only when I reach 35 mph goes away at 40 mph.
So.. when you removed those other big bolts nothing moved and you could get those lined back up ok?Did the brackets they hold move easily from around the hub when you got them out?I assume you just drained the differential when you popped it loose instead of using drain plug?I changed mine one time but it was a pain getting in there to fill.
I assume an 08’ rav limited takes same bearing?
do you have a video of the sound? I'm trying to figure out if this is what is wrong with my 2009 rav4 v6. It gets a high pitched whistling/whining sound that only happens when I press the gas. as soon as i let off the gas the sound goes away. Its almost like a sound of an airline winding up for take off... haha
That won’t be it then. This will happen when you let off still as it is a driveline sound.
Hi, did you solved noise problem by changing the bearing? (I have the same problem, 2007 rav4 v6, when I press the gas between 80 - 100 km/h)
Yes it did.
Hey did you ever figure out what that was? My 2008 is doing the same thing.
@@ryansaba6807 still not sure. one mechanic thought it was the transmission. few months ago my transmission would slip when shifting gears but now it is completely fine... so at this point I'm not sure. If it is transmission I will drive it until it actually needs replacing as it is very expensive fix.

And helping so many countless people not get ripped the hell off by evil shady mechanics n dealers !! second i have a serious question i just bought a 2010 rav 4 base for 9500 it has 96k miles i hope i didnt do to bad even tho i know i paid a nice markup thats a diff story lol but the market is f'n crazy here in md where i live and i have a baby due any moment now so im broke spent every penny on this thing and it was as is unfortunately !! so like i was saying i just noticed this today after a doc appt earlier when i turn right like either into a parkn spot or just turn right and keep her in a circle there is a noise that sounds like a bearing maybe just starting or it sounds like that vague scrape when you have when you rust on your rotors after afew weeks of sitting if that makes sense lol ?? I was wondering if that could be the coupler starting to go bad or i did notice the new brake pads on the rear kinda are touching or covering should i say a part of the brake rotor thats rusted it looks like they didnt turn the rotors or there the wrong arse pads and are too big for that rotor i hope that makes sense but im not sure of its that or the coupler or a bearing or what else it could be ??? are there way to test each thing to see what it is ? Im praying that its something little and cheap i cant afford a big problem !! im a old school mustang guy so toyotas and awd man that stuffs foreign to me i know the jest but thats it lol brother any help or advice is highly appreciated i dont have money to tale it newhere and all else fails i have to fix it myself !!! Please help !!!! 🙏 Thank you and thank you for all the people youve helped by doing this i was tripping till i watched this video !!
I have been getting a soft whine while driving and now the AWD, Check Engine, and Trac control light came on dash as well. Wondering if this is the issue. Did you get any lights come on dash?
you won't get lights coming on if its just the bearing making noise.
Great video! Do I need any specific gasket maker or do they sell the gasket by itself? Thank you

Not sure if they are the same. Should be fairly similar.
What's the part number of the guard ring?
Sorr not sure. It came with the kit.

Brake & parts cleaner.
I found it! Thanks Buddy! Nice video!
Hey if you remember, how many hours was this?
How did you take the big bearing out from the housing? What province you from? Thanks
I simply used a large punch/ screwdriver and tapped it circular until it popped out. I am from Ontario. You?
I’m doing the bearing change today didn’t finish tonight been banging the bearing out from the housing for an hour will continue tomorrow. I even use gear puller but it doesn’t move. Was thinking to torch the housing and bearing but its aluminum don’t know if it’s a good idea. I’m from innisfil Ontario. Ordered my bearing kit from febest.eu paid around $100 with the custom taxes.
Right on. I am only about an hour away👍🏻 royal distributing parts central in innisfil. Was through there last Saturday. Mine took a lot of hammering. When i say a lot i mean a lot. A press would have been handy but i got it. I was also rushed so my GF could get to work.
I wanted to hear that hum to compare to our 2008 RAV4. Starts around 20mph up to 40mph but seems to get quieter when you let off the ignition. I’m worried about the transaxle or transmission. (Only 73,000 miles but driven on a dirt road it’s whole life…tranny fluid was black)
My 2011 with 140k does the same thing, it only does it when slightly pressing on the accelerator, it can’t be the wheel bearing right?
Thanks for this again, but you skipped over re installing the unit with new bearing back into the housing.Did you put it on the coupler or down into the housing?Pound it in?Still not sure what part fits my 08'?Looks just like yours.Whats seller did you get it from.?Should have that info on your Ebay account.thanks
Yes into the housing and pound it in. A press would be ideal but i don’t have one.
I can’t remember the seller offhand sorry.

This price is crazy. The bearing is the same as a Matrix bearing. I bought both and only paid 124.00 in Canada. Toyota did not like that I knew what a wanted. They wanted 1000.00 for whole unit. It is a simple job…about an hour

Great video. I have a 2010 and am having a hard time finding the correct bearing. I have been reading that it may be a nsk bearing.
It is. Nsk will not sell it to you though. So i am told.

Did you ever share the part number for this bearing? If not, I would be grateful to get it from you!
Will look. Thought i put it in description.
Same bearings as Pontiac, I think it's VIBE, available from pontiac at sensible prices
Incorrect towing causes this. We buy a lot of Rav4 & Nissan Rogues from auctions (salvage & repos) and 75 percent of them have bad differentials. I bought many new rav4s with super low mileage with the bad bearings.
I honestly think the bearing is just way too small for the design. I have replaced 2 now and the 2nd is failing as well. By towing do you mean the vehicle towing a trailer or the vehicle being towed?
@@Schneids15 towed with back wheels down and front of car up..Most new rav4's 2013-2018 I buy from auction usually have this bearing hum.. Because towers don't care and haul them to and from auction..
Does the guard ring typically come with the new bearing? Thanks
No dust ring must be bought separate. From what i see its the root cause that ends up leaving rap get in to the front bearing. Betting this is a bigger issue up north where we have winters with road salt to add to corrosion or in places where its wet a lot
You got ripped. Bought the complete kit, both bearings and seal febest brand for 25 bucks
Just bought an ‘02, and it’s making a growling noise toward the rear end. Diff fluid is good, rear wheel bearings are good, so I’m thinking this may be the culprit. Anyone have other thoughts?? 165,000 miles.
did you find out? My 02 has growled for years
did you find out? My 02 has growled for years
I need to know if this will make the vehicle not move. I think this is the orobkem on my 2008 rav4 the seals ar definitely gone its leaking everywhere but the bitch will NOT MOVE its absolutely 1000% not the engine, transmission , cv axels, hubs, rotors,breaks, or the drive shaft. But it just stopped moving. Everything else moves but nothing catches and its got oil everywhere now. All around the outside of the cas.
This would not make it not move. Unless it was completely seized. Sound’s like you have a catastrophic failure in the rear differential.

Hello! Sorry i don’t have the number anymore as i threw it out. Look at other comments and someone has listed it😀
I want to know bearing call ! The name bearing thank you
Also I ment to tell you that sound is coming from the right rear I think !but definitely in the rear only when your turning right !? Also driving Any other way it's quiet !!??
You are lucky. It sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing not a bad diff bearing. That is good!
@@Schneids15 hey I can't tell if we're it's coming from the back or the front but it only really does it making right turns how can I check for the wheel bearings?

What was the millage when it went bad?
About 165,000 miles are on it now.
@@Schneids15 Only 76000 miles on my sienna
The climate/ elements the vehicle has been in definitely has an effect on stuff. Hotter climates etc may fail sooner due to the heat on the seal. We have salty grimy roads to blame in canada.
Should have recorded whatever noise you were hearing and trying to fix so we know what it sounds like.
Was the car a 4WD?
Yes it is.0
Same problem
You never posted the part #
In there now
Thank you i ordered a different number but we will see if it works
FYI: That's just a plain clutch coupler, electrically controlled, not a viscous coupler. Toyota 4WD is not a true limited slip AWD, it lacks a central diff.
Some are viscous and some are electronic. The one i did had no electronics so that is classified viscous right? The newer ones are electronic though.
@@Schneids15 Not likely, AFAIK from 2006 are all electric. The electrical connector is on the differential and an electromagnet in there attracts the armature on the coupler. Good job though!

FREE WORKAROUND: When you hear that annoying growl, shift from "D" into "3" to experience blessed relief!
Bought the parts online on eBay, but I’m having a tough time finding a mechanic to do the work. Anyone in Ohio have a mechanic recommendation who will do this for me? I’m not mechanically inclined at all to do it myself.
What city are you from? Would you be willing to replace mine in my Rav4? Of course i would pay you
Hey! Sorry it was a one time thing i did just fixing the car. Not interested in doing it again. Lol
My rav4 only whines around 25 mph and 45 mph?? Any idea?
Are your RPM’s the same at 25 and 45?
@@Schneids15 roughly, yes. Between 1500 and 2500. The transmission is shifting properly
My rave 4 makes a loud whineing noise. The noise intensifies with acceleration and decrease with deceleration. Sounds like a airplane is ready to lift off. I've changed all 4 wheel bearings new pads and rotors. My next step is to change out the coupler bearing.
Wish I would’ve seen this before the dealer charged me $3,000 for the entire assembly. Now I know for future reference at least.
Hello what is the part number and brand of the deflector thank you.
toyota - 41252-44010 they might tell you that it won't fit on a rav4 because they're not listed in their system . but it does
I have the noise on my 2011 Sienna AWD
Yep same bearing guaranteed. The bearings are different size from what i have found in the sienna. You can find them on Ebay.
P.s. Tons of those on eBay for less than $200
Depends if you are in canada or not. There is lots but none were in stock when i was buying.
@@Schneids15 In your video your phone died during the pounding out process.How hard was that and would a press possibly be needed or heat to the casting?
Yes it did. It was really hard. A press could be helpful for sure. Be hard to get on it though and the aluminum was so delicate i would be leery of pressing to hard on it. It took a lot of time but i kept pounding in circles and it came apart.
@@Schneids15 thanks..Thinkmine might be the whining that I have heard for awhile.Not unbearable yet.
Thank you...you made my day. Can you find me the number for RaV4 2019 4cycl pls
In my case here in South Africa, easy coast side, river crossings at a local private game park and Spa did not help. 😂😂 See www.gwahumbe.co.za just one of the places nearby where we play...
Yup a river don’t help. Lol
