Hi all,

Have just taken my 78series Cruiser into Toyota for a 60k service and they have informed me of Grease in Diff oil and vice versa.

They are probably right as I changed front diff oil recently thinking it was contaminated by water, but apparently it's grease. But then again, my mechanic back home (we are currently travelling) says it's normal to have a bit of grease in diff oil?! But toyota reckons the diffoil is ratbleep.

Anyway, 60k service includes repacking front wheel bearings... , changing the knuckle seals etc. also needs this.

Problem is, to change the knuckle seals, they want an extra $690!!! on top of the $200 to repack the front bearings, ($100 for the rear)

Is this highway robbery?Seems a bit stiff.

Maybe somebody can reccomend a good cruiser mechanic in Adelaide?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
