    Hey all,

    Bit of Lurker here. I recently heard a real high pitched squeal coming from the rear diff. Fairly certain its a Pinion or Axle bearing. Either way I need to find a good diff shop in OC. I'd be willing to go to LA if the shop was solid.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks for the help!

    Yotamasters in Corona...maybe a bit more of a drive but they're well known.

    Ramjet Rear End Repair, 8783 San Fernando Rd, Sun Valley, CA 91352. Great shop and with solid results. Its a bit of a way from OC but thought Id recommend them.

    Lol the amount they charge for engines rubs me the wrong way - I'm going to keep looking around. For sure they seem like a safe if not the safest bet besides ECGS or a dedicated diff shop like justdifferentials.com.

    I also recommend them. I had my new gears and Detroit Truetrac installed in my Tundra in 2005 and never had a single issue or a drop of oil leak out in the 12 years I owned the thing. If I remember right, they were reasonably priced too. I would not hesitate to take my Tacoma to them again if I ever decide to regear it.
