Discovered that the side-gear-shaft on Drivers side of 4runner seems to have a lot of play in it. This is a UK4runner with ADD.
When I grab the drive shaft, as well as small play in direction of drive shaft, there is major loosness in up-down and side-to-side - the looseness is where the side-gear-shaft goes into the front diff (NOT wheel end).
I assume this isnt normal! - as otherside on ADD isnt the same,
is it some worn bearing?
no evidence of oil leak
Reason I found it was still trying to get to bottom of vibration/shaking when driving.
is this an easy thing to fix?
I did a search on this forum - but never found a conclusion to the problem
cheers in advance
Andy
