swapping entire rear diff housing for stronger bearings

Postby BillyGoatCountry on Sun, 22 Sep 2024 5:26 +0000

My 2008 Hilux has had a few problems with rear wheel bearings and leaking seals.

I was told i can swap over the entire back end from a 2009 - 2015 which i have now done , These later model have a bigger wheel bearing on the rear axles.

I picked up the back end excluding diff center for $ 650 from a wrecker.

I used my old diff which was a clean swap over , The brake lines needed to be swapped over as they are slightly different.

I used my old ABS sensors and wiring as the new model have slightly different plugs , I currently have an ABS warning light on the dash so i either pinched a cable during the process or are the old ABS rings different between the older 2005 - 2008 model ?
i didnt measure the ABS ring when i did my swapover.

i didnt find any threads on this topic.

Ring will be out of alignment with the sensor.
I might be wrong.

why would the ring be out of alignment ?

I used the axles that came with that diff / axle housing complete with original sensor ring , the sensor ring is in the same position , the old sensors were centrally mounted in the hole ?

my only obvious thought is the sensor ring has a different number of grooves from the old one , or i have pinched a wire during the changeover.
