Front Differential Bushing Replacement - 100 Series Land Cruiser LX470

- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- This fix can help reduce/eliminate thunk or thud felt when shifting between D and R or between braking and acceleration. Other cause of thunk could be play in the diff, play in the axles, play in the hub flanges. These bushings are a good and cheap first step.

brother were can I buy tha parts ??
Thanks so much for this summary of parts, Aaron. Really helpful🤞Just ordered them. Question: how many of the metal stoppers will I need to do the job? In the video it looks like there are multiple ones - no?
@@thomashaas3116 did you get a number? I have the same question.
Retainer 41654-60010 has been superseded by 41654-04020 Stopper, Differential Mount, Lower.
thank you my friend, 2003 land cruiser owner from NY
Great vid. With the thunk/thud we hear in our 100s, most people talk about greasing the driveshaft on the forums. I can literally feel the thud near my feet and never thought to look at replacing those bushings. Going to research this a little more, but appreciate the video to get me looking into a new solution. (Also have a YotaMD key fob and dig it)
Just did this today. I only replaced the front 2 bushings. Thank you much for the video, really helped out. Was fun to use the air hammer!
Those key fob shells are awesome, just purchased one. Might come back for a purple one for the wife later.
Best video I've seen on this work.
Great job amigo, very clear and well done, keep up the great work.
Exactly the information I need right now! Thank you.
Hey, how did you go? Did it resolve your problem? I noticed a similar movement on my HDJ100, thought the rubber was torn as I could see right through it. Ordered and replaced the whole arm. Unfortunately, what I didn't know is that the bushing just like all the other front diff support bushings have holes in them to allow for movement. Put the new one in and it was flexing exactly the same as the old one. Complete waste of money and time. There are several videos here of guys replacing these bushes (one or all) at great effort and cost and they all seem to have the same amount of flex in them both before and after replacement. One possible exception appears to be the front support bushing. This is supposed to suffer most wear. But still haven't seen any of them torn. May just du with just the upper cushion replacement. I'm still looking for my clunk noise. Already replaced the side support arm, all upper / lower arm bushings, ball joints, shocks & CV's. It's driving me crazy!
Front diff cover (with new bushing preinstalled) part number: Axle Cover - Toyota (41108-60011)
I know the arms are expensive but it looks like it’s worth buying them
Did you feel much of a difference after the new bushings? Or was it more just for preventative maintenance?
my clunck sounds like it's coming from the rear, not the front of the truck. Is this the fix for that? For context, I bought my 02 with 40k on it. It had that clunck sound the day I got it. It now has 330k miles, same clunck.
This is the greatest!
Do you think a Milwaukee multi tool / oscillating tool would work instead of the chisel?
what would be the different arm part numbers if you don't have air chisel or an extra hour of cursing to spare?
Good question. I'm working with a mechanic to see if we can do all of this. Great video btw.
Chasing down my clunk as well. Driveshaft is well maintained so this is my next check, thanks for the video. To diagnose, easiest way is to put the pry bar on like you did and check for play? Wheels on the ground?
I'd recommend setting a camera down under the car and watch for the front mount to move during shifting. Pry bar works, but camera might be better and more convenient.
@@user-df1gh8le6l Thanks for the reply, last time I did that I saw my CVs turning a bit and that made me sad, may need to think about those as well... Will have to drop the skid and check on diff bushing as well.
Pretty fun trick to help diagnose this before tearing apart. I managed to put a thick rubber gasket between the front diff bushing and mount. It's a band-aid for sure but it allowed me to realized that the front diff bushing is the main problem as the clunk went away.
Thanks for the video.
>> I know this is tough but If you had to go at it again, would you just replace the front diff housing/arm or fight the old bushing out?
If replacing the arm, would you agree that it is Toyota 52380-60030
@@Mike_at_QC I actually went through this again with my 06LX that I picked up early this year. I changed out the front arm, the front lower bushing and the pucks in front and in back. I left the rear main bushing because my 99 one was so nice. The arm part number you mention is the rear arm - I'd leave that alone. The side arm that's commonly bad is 52380-60040. The second time around this job was cake. Very fast. Once you're comfortable with the air hammer you can cruise through removal and buying the arm from Toyota saves you a solid hour of screwing around with the bushing and you just unbolt the old and bolt in the new.
@@user-df1gh8le6l You the man, thanks. I am just going to chase the forward most bushing replace, the mount that seems to be apart of the front diff housing.
Looks like when you show the parts diagram from Toyota I need the top 2 part numbers, but is the third part number on that list necessary? Tried to message you on mud but apparently I'm techno-tarted and can't figure it out
great vid..maybe should included the price's.. and also price difference between buying the bushes compared to the complete arm/part Toyota recommended.
Woah thank you... It seems like the parts are not available anymore. Any idea where to look?
I found on eBay. Shipped surprisingly quick from the Middle East.
hi, where to order this front differential bushing?
So the front bushing, you don't think just using the big washer and bolt to press it in will work?
No, I don't think so. I think you'd distort the washer. I have another video, Chapter 2 of the Cypress Build, where I show the action of pressing that bushing in with an impact. It's enough force that I think a proper press die is needed instead of the washer. You'd also risk some damage to the nut or bolt threads. Grab the C clamp tool off Amazon and make it easy/easier on yourself.
I’m starting to feel a bit of vibration when I’m in Drive and foot on brake. Trying to figure out what bushing needs to be replaced
That arm bushing would be the first I inspect.
@@user-df1gh8le6l thanks I’ll have a look tomorrow when i do my seat bar bushing refresh
How many miles would you expect these bushes to last? I'm looking at buying a LC with 190 km and these are well worn
I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were worn at that mileage.
What were the symptoms of bad bushings?
I had a clunk or thud when changing from drive to reverse and sometimes when braking and accelerating. Now the thud while braking and accelerating is gone and d to r is reduced.
Started this job tonight. Using a cordless Dewalt hammer drill on chisel mode. First bush in the removable arm came out in about 2 minutes. Going to try the bush in the diff cover tomorrow. Hopefully that one is just as easy.
@@tacte-cool1331 Which removable arm are you referring to that came out in 2 minutes? Also, how did the others do with the Dewalt hammer set on chisel mode?
