1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner
Shop ECGS Toyota Clamshell Bushings for 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD applications. These 3rd Gen 4Runner models use the Toyota 7.5-inch IFS front clamshell differential, where the factory driver-side needle bearing can wear and allow CV axle shaft movement, vibration, hum, growl, or gas-pedal buzz.
Choose the standalone bushing if you already have the correct ECGS tools, or choose the Complete Kit if you need the properly sized removal tool, installation tool, seal driver, and seal components for the Toyota 7.5-inch clamshell differential.

1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner Clamshell Bushing
This category covers ECGS Toyota 7.5-inch clamshell bushing products for 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD applications. These 3rd Gen 4Runner models use the Toyota 7.5-inch IFS front clamshell differential, where the factory driver-side needle bearing can wear and allow CV axle movement.
If your 1996-2002 4Runner has a front-end growl, hum, vibration, gas-pedal buzz, or “whomp-whomp” noise that improves in 4HI and returns in 2WD, the driver-side clamshell needle bearing is a likely cause.
Lifted 4Runners can show the problem sooner due to increased CV axle angle and side load. The ECGS PTFE clamshell bushing replaces the factory needle bearing to better support the driver-side CV axle.
The Complete Kit is recommended for most DIY installers because it includes the properly sized 7.5-inch bushing, removal tool, installation tool, seal driver, and seal components.
