| Rear differential housing is leaking fluid as a result of rust. local toyota dealership says the entire rear axle needs to be replaced (it is all one piece) to the tune of $3000. an online search of a diy repair shows this problem (google: rear differential rust) shows this problem is unique to toyota 3rd generation 4runners. this amount of rust on an integral part is extreme and unacceptable that toyota has not done a recall, even though they did one for virtually same vehicle in the tacoma for frame rust. *tr | |||
