Long story short,
Replaced the CV Axles with OEM Toyota remans. part # 43430-04020-84
I couldn't get the passenger side to seat correctly, (seal is set at the correct depth) took it to a differential shop, probably the best in town to see if I am missing something.
He tore the differential apart, everything looks fine...except the torrington bearings have a slight bit of play. He machined bushings to take up the slack. Similar to what East Coast Gear Supply does for the '05 and up Tacos. Redid the breather, just in case. Put new bearings in, new upgraded Toyota seal, CV is OEM Toyota as I said, which is speccing correctly, the seal is speccing correctly. Thought the slinger might of been putting undo pressure on the seal, took that off.
The tech test drove it, everything was fine.
I just picked the truck up this evening, drove it for about an hour...started leaking again. The tech said if it leaks again he isn't sure what else to do.
The old seals/axles with 280K miles on them never leaked.
Could the new reman OEM axle be machined wrong? should I replace the axle tube? Not sure what else to do, at a loss.
