What would be implications of/solutions for loss of pinion preload?

agree 100% here,my mate left his jeep diff whine for 12 months before doing anything about it(said to him do some thing about it at the start)just had it done because the noise was unbearable and it was a full rebuild(bearings,shims,ring and pinion)it had the edge and hardening worn off.cheers Paul

hmmm... interesting you say that Ray. My first assessment was transfer case was where the noise was coming from.

I've not taken anything apart, nor got it on the hoist yet... but other ears were pointing at the rear diff...

Hey Andrew

I agree 100% with TD100, I had the same problem and fixed it with a crown wheel, pinion and bearing kit, I still have 2 diff centers on my work bench which need the same treatment, it shouldn't cost more than $ 700 if you get someone to do it or, $ 500 if you take the diff center out and put it back in.

Cheers Steve.

Thanks Steve.

What supplier do you use for your crown wheel, pinion and bearing kit?

Kind rgds
Andrew.

Hey Andrew.

I use Discount Auto Parts, they are a after market parts shop for the Toyota Dealership in Darwin.

There # is 0889414022 ring them and see if they have a supplier were you are I think I paid $ 350 for the crown wheel, pinion and bearing kit.

Cheers Steve.

Thanks Steve.

I will call them in the morning.

Hi Bilbo, was that you I spotted near PMH in Subi on Friday around lunch time?

Twasn't I.

I don't even know where PMH is?? Is it anything like PMS??

I'm not the Subi type anyway.

Was it a V8 like mine?

Red?

With a roof rack?

'n a black bull bar?

Still wasn't me though

All of the above except I couldn't hear if it had the familiar sound of the big bent 8 oiler. It had an ExploreOz tyre cover too.

I was on my way out of town heading up to Paynes Find for the weekend and thought you may be heading in the same direction.

V8D,

We've just got back from a 4 month trip away, so Paynes Find, even though it's just around the corner by comparison, is out of the question right now! I just wanna stay home in my own armchair until next season.

At one time I did aspire to an "Exploroz" wheel cover, but not anymore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ;) In fact, once I get around to it, my windscreen sticker will be coming off as well,,,,,,,,,,,,

Redneck indeed!!

Take care,

Bilbo
