the diff in my corona wagon is leaking oil bad, and there is a bad knocking noise!
the diff specialist dude said it was the main bearings and seels or something, and quated $450 for the new parts and labour
is that too much??
thanks

ppfftttt you can buy a corona for that price. Is it a st141?
If so good condition diffs go for around $80-100 if manual.

keep looking! or price up some freight. It's not a hard job to fix yourself with a 2nd hand centre.

leaf spring rear makes life easy... if you are hard on your diff take the tape measure to some hi-lux diffs
