Morning all. Soarer is currently up on stands as I was getting a whining noise after what we thought was the wheel bearing warmed up. Well turns out it's not the wheel bearing as after jacking it up and letting it run the noise seemed to transfer across the drive shaft so got under it and there is a lovely grinding noise coming from the diff.
I believe that it is the crown and pinion gears, has anyone had to replace these? If so where did you source the bearings from?
Also thinking about changing from the V8 diff to something with a shorter ratio ie TT diff. Currently have a TRD 1.5way LSD, would anyone know if these are compatable with the TT diff's??
Know of anyone selling a TT diff housing let me know.
I read that Blaine put in a supra diff?? Any advice on that??

I purchased a torsen center from Japan and took it and the diff housing to a place in Perth. He went of and replaced all the bearings sourced some locally and some from Castle Hill toyota.
