Professionally Reconditioned with Premium Components

Every HiLux KUN26 front differential centre undergoes an exhaustive overhaul in our workshop. The housing and carrier assembly are stripped down, hot-washed, and checked for case fatigue, shaft wear, or gear pitting. Rebuilt using high-grade Japanese bearings and seals, genuine components where required, and quality replacement gearsets, each unit undergoes strict setup procedures. Crown wheel tooth contact patterns, backlash, and bearing preloads are set to exact OEM specifications to guarantee durability for heavy work, touring, and off-road driving.

Common KUN26 Front Differential Failures

Front IFS differential centres on hard-driven KUN26 HiLux models frequently suffer from collapsed side bearings, pinion seal leaks, worn needle roller bearings, and damaged ring-and-pinion teeth caused by hard off-road use or heavy towing. Fitting a factory-spec reconditioned unit provides a far more reliable, long-term solution than chancing an untested second-hand unit with unknown wear.
