Hey, Newbie here. I just registered here today, but been reading around here for a while. I lost this part that connects the front differential to the frame. Its on the drivers side. Anyone know what that part is called? I went to a couple of shops but they said that I needed to get that part directly from toyota...but nobody knows exactly what its called. Every time I go to toyota they are closed due to my work schedule. Here you can see whats missing...

Here is the passenger side to compare.

 

I dont see what you are talking about. Can you circle the thing in paint?

 

Sorry, here it is... oh yeah, and its a 95 4runner 3.0 v6 4x4

 

Its your diff mount. Looks like the bushing has slid out, can you push it back in?

I suggest you go to your local wrecker and pull one off a junker truck.

 

The bushing is completely gone...along with the bolt that holds it in there, I searched a couple of junk yards and the whole front end is missing from all the toyota trucks! I guess I gotta catch the toyota parts center when they are open.

 

i bet theres no yota wrecker around hawaii jay lol

 

Well thats no good. I would go buy a bolt and some big washers and shove it in there for now. Keep an eye out for a fresh yota (yota parts are worth their weight in gold...around here at least!) in the yards and grab the bushing when you can.

If you can get into the stealer when its open they should easily be able to help you out. But it won't be cheap!!!


Haha, there has to be a yota wrecker! Who would be there to overcharge for used toyota parts?

 

I use my Audi to get around so I don't really need to drive the yota yet, the yota is my toy! Its resting in the driveway for now, until I get that bushing. I was thinking of going SAS but don't really wanna dish out the cash to do it.

 

Good stuff! I wouldnt use it much without a bushing and bolt in there..

Dont bother with a SAS unless you want to crawl it...

 

Or call up DeathCougar (moderator on this site) at Nix99 in Washington.

 

Thats what I was going to suggest. Send him a PM, or clink the nix99 link in my signature. Josh is a good dude to deal with, knows his stuff when it comes to Toyota parts.
