I guess it could be on a case by case basis, depending on the dealership's decision. The dealer that I went to replaced the entire front differential carrier assy, part number: 41110-35A91 under warranty. I do have a 3" lift kit and differential drop kit installed, I really don't think that the...

The front diff carrier assembly was also ordered for mine. After the repair, when I took a look under my truck, I see a brand new diff.

Update: Today, the front diff was replaced under warranty, it took them about 6 hours. They did not replace the CV axle assembly, I guess it was not damaged by the bad needle barring. The technician told me that the oil was black and there was a lot of metal shaving inside. Currently, the front...

The dealer told me that the front diff needs to be replaced and it was ordered on Monday last week. I checked today and it has not arrived yet, but I was told I will receive a phone call, when it arrives. It is Elmhurst Toyota dealership in Elmhurst IL.

Thanks for the good advice, I do have an update. I dropped off the truck at the dealership this morning, about 6 hours later, I received a phone call from the dealer confirming that the technician hears the same noise, when test driving my vehicle. He said the front diff fluid is black and told...

I have the same problem, a humming noise started about 2 weeks ago, in the front of my 2016 4R TE with 12,000 miles. I have an appointment at the dealer on Monday, I printed the TSB to narrow it down, I had an ultimate 3" lift kit installed this summer, I also had Front Diff Drop installed to...

I have a 2016 4Runner TE with about 12,000 miles. About a month ago, I started to hear a humming noise from the front end that sounds like a bad wheel barring. Today, on my way to work, I put it in 4H when I was going about 15 MPH and it did not engage. When I stopped, I tried again and it...

A 3" Bilstein lift is also on my shopping list. Did you have to replace the UCA's? I contacted Bilstein customer service and they said: "UCAs are required about 50% of the time in order to align the vehicle properly." I am hoping I am not in the 50% that needs to replace the UCA's.

I am considering putting a 3" lift kit on my 2016 4Runner. I was wondering if anyone has the Bilstein ultimate 3" lift kit or recommends any other particular kit? I was warned about CV joint wear. From my understanding the front differential drop is included in this kit, which should prevent CV...

Looks good

Almost there:happy:

I found it on google when I was checking 4runners out before purchasing

I have one on my truck and like the way it looks. People lecture me about how it is a good thing and brings extra air into the engine, I just look away and try not to laugh.

I purchased mine recently, ordered a batch of Toyota filters, I intend to use nothing else in this vehicle.

Yes, I do have concealed carry permit for multiple states, including Illinois. I do carry a concealed firearm as needed, I hope that I will never have to use it, but if my life is endangered I will.
