ADD diff with manual hubs?

Good question, you'll have to touch base with someone who knows 4Runner, Tacoma and Pre-Tacoma truck interchangeability.

 

Or it might be easier to get a all electric add actuator and switch the one out that you have there. Once again someone who knows the interchangeability's of these should be consulted.

 

so i did some quick research. Dorman 930-417 is the hub that was used on the 96 4 runner you mentioned a few posts back. The shaft has the same diameter as your 2002 prerunner v6's (this is what you have, right?) wheel bearing. to clarify, the hubs shaft OD is the same as the bearings ID on your truck. you should be able to take your knuckle and this dorman part to a machine shop and have them swap it. it will most likely destroy the wheel bearing in the process. so buy another one to replace it.

the only concern i have if you do this is, will the bearing seat on the hub (where the hub stops when you press it into a bearing) allow for enough clearance so it will not come in contact with anything else on the knuckle?

the only ways I know of to find out is either by just doing it and seeing what happens, or by getting the new hub, getting the old hub out, and measuring where the seats are relative to the back of the hubs flange (the flat part where the rim is pressed against).



IF the distances are the same, this hub should press right into your bearing without causing anything to interfere with your steering and suspension components.

there is also a slight chance youll need to change your wheel nuts to whatever this hub has. but different stud sizes between trucks like this is not common at all.

 

Wow. That's a hell of a response. Thanks
!

I'll try to do some digging myself.

I've been building cars for years, the truck thing is new to me. I'm still learning to basics to all of this and I'm already trying to tackle a big project lol
