Differential, Transfer case washers

JimiJams · 05-17-2008, 09:19 AM

Hey everyone, I know some people say just reuse the old washers but I just want to have peace of mind after changing the fluids. Well I just went to the dealer for crush washers for the front and rear diffs and the transfer case. The guy seemed to not know really what was needed and I ended up with 7 washers @ 18 bucks. I don't know how that adds up with only 6 plugs in all so I was wondering if someone could post the part numbers of all the crush washers I'd need for the front and rear diffs and the TC for a 2000 4X4 4runner. The guy gave me 4 crush washers, 2 flat metal washers and 1 big copper washer, does that sound right? Thanks a lot in advance!

There are washers on all the drail plugs. The best way to tell is to just match up the washers you pull off with the ones he gave you. Then keep the old ones and use them to buy more later when you do it again.

Yeah, I just don't want to have the plugs off and then find out he gave me the wrong washers. I have no clue what the big copper washer's for or why I have 4 crush washers and 2 flat washers. Well I guess I'll see what happens.

I don't remember what went where but there were copper wahers for me as well.

When i went to get my washers i also ended up with a handful of washers and did have some left over. But i had everything i needed. Plus if you don't just reuse what you got, i have done that as well.

Thanks a lot hotlavaa, I actually ended up finding it eventually the day I posted but I bookmarked the link you gave just in case I need it in the future. Plus maybe someone else will run into the same confusion when they get 3 different types of washers and find this thread.
