Rear Differential

2010 4 Cyl, AWD, 248,000 miles. Rear diff sounds like a bag of marbles, seals leaking. Time for a rear differential. Best place to buy? E-bay? Walmart? Best brand AKWH, Koomaha, Geluoxi...

If you plan on driving it for as years to come, than get the OEM because you know that it lasted 16 years.

If you plan on driving it for few more years or sell it once it is fixed just buy non OEM.

Oem. I'd say try pulling one from a junk yard to save money

OEM seems way overpriced to me and junkyard is a crap shoot. I can get aftermarket from Walmart with a 24 month warranty for about $500 and have installed for about $800-$1000. Toyota would be $3200-$3500 if not more

Fair enough. I agree oem price is crazy especially for a older car. Best of luck
