hello
i own a daihatsu charmant a35. witch is a ke70 with some external change
it has a 4age conversion and gearbox, thought the rear diff was left stock
i recently got it welded. and have put it some normal semi-syn oil in .
now i ran with it two month without any problem
last week i went to a track day to drift.
and the day. i went back home and two days later i notice a wiining noise coming from the diff.
i have opened it yet but were guessing its the corona and pinion worn and making the wiining noise.
any way i was wondering if is it some kind of sickness of that diff. anyone else got that problem. i probably can fix it . adjusting again the diff the the pinion . but will it happen again
do i need to put some high grade fully syn oil ?
thanks for the help/
You might br better off shortening a Hilux housing and running a G series diff because it will be a lot stronger than the little corolla diff. There are a lot of parts available for the G series hilux diff like full spools, auto lockers and air lockers. You can even get a torsen LSD centre for them but don't use a Hilux LSD which are clutch type because they won't last long as aLSD when you put a lot of strain on them. they normally end up being not much better than an open centre.
Yeah i agree with dazza best way to go is putting a hilux diff into it you should'nt have a problem for a very long time.
As for your old diff the wining noise could be a bearing problem but the fact you've welded it it'll proably be the crown a pinion and theonly way to fix it is to replace it which will be pretty expensive, welded diffs are fun but they do'nt last long enough.

those arnt an option for me as i only have 92 and newer toyota in my coutry.
so its only by importing the all axle . and it very much expensive.
i want to stay with my own axle. any sugestions for me maybe?
