Hey so on my 93 v6 4x4 pickup the I can get under it while the truck is in neutral and turn the drive line about 2 inches total back and forth. I've checked all the U-joints and they are sound. So from what I can tell I need new gears in the rear end, they are 4.30's. Not have every really dealt with diff's def on toyota's how much of a process is it??? From what I can tell the parts cost a couple hundred bucks?
thnks

 

a little backlash is normal. are you having any other rear end issues, howling, growling, clunking, etc?

 

hey i have the same thing going on? only my drive shaft only moves about a 1/4 of an inch? kinda clunky if im not smooth on the clutch? still drives fine but i was wondering if i should worry about it? as in is it gonna blow or anything? lol sorry if i highjacked your thread
