    99 4runner front driver's cv axle bearing

    The side axle bearing on the drivers side that the cv rides on is worn out causing the cv axle to flop around a bit. East Coast Gear Supply has a bushing that I am planning to use instead of another bearing. They are speaking of a ridge on SOME 7.5" differentials that will prevent the bushing from seating fully. Does anyone know if my 99 has this ridge?

    TECH NOTE: The T7.5 bushing is longer than the stock needle bearing. There is room for the bushing to install flush without hitting the spider gear, however some of the toyota carriers are not bored straight through and there is a ridge on the inside. The ridge will stop the bushing from seating flush. Installed height is between .030-.065 off of the carrier bore as acceptable. The bushing can be driven past the ridge of you hit it hard enough but it will damage the bushing and cause the CV shaft not install properly. Drive bushing in to carrier with even firm blows once you feel it stop verify height is between .030 -.065

    I have installed this kit on newer 4runners. The only way to know is to look at the diff with the CV out, as near as I can tell.

    If there is a ridge will the bushing not seating flush cause any issues?

    I don’t know. I have not encountered the ridge.

    Ok thanks.

    I recieved the part from East Coast Gear Supply rather quickly. I thought it would contain a single tool to press it in but turns out it has a complete bearing press kit with abt 8 different plates. I was not expecting that but it is cool to have it now.

    I will tackle this job in the next couple days.
