Oil baffle inside axle?

Anyone ever had a problem with your axle shafts rubbing these things ? How do they stay in ?

 

I've seen them in plenty of Toyota axles. I've never really thought about how they stay in. I would assume the 3rd has a prevision somewhere on it to hold it in place. I've never had one rub the axle to my knowledge....

Why do you ask?

 

Cause I have a noise and I'm guessing it's those since I just installed my 3rd

 

I always pushed them back onto the housing.. Never had one make noises. Sorry, I'm not much help... Shouldn't be too hard to pull the shafts out and pull the 3rd. One was rubbing, you should be able to see where it was rubbing.

 

I didn't push it in...seemed like it went super far in

 

They are kind of spring loaded. There is a small tab top and bottom that holds them inplace. You can bend the wings to make them fit tighter.

 

Damn gonna open it back up and fix it. It seemed like they pushed in super far

 

Anybody have a part number for the oil baffle??


Edit: local Toyota said I’d have to buy a new axle to get one ... what a bargain.

 

if it's the same as an 8" I have one you can have

 

hmm that is a good question haha worth a shot tho and if it doesn’t work then I can return it to yah

 

what a steal!

 

I bought them separately

 

Do you have a part number? I had to send my local Toyota a photo because they didn’t know exactly what I was referring to

Update:

After being persistent and convincing the parts person at toyota to lookup a TSB for a tundra for this baffle, she was able to find it. Funny thing is that TSB called it a "rear differential axle housing oil baffle" and after she looked it up using the TSB, she called it a "deflector"


General part number without providing my VIN is - Differential Drive Pinion Oil Deflector (Rear) Part Number: 4213935021

Hope this helps someone in the future
