How to remove and reinstall the rear differential in Toyota Highlander?

Raise the rear of the vehicle, support it on jackstands, block the front wheels, and place the transmission in Neutral with the parking brake off. Drain the differential lubricant. Remove the drive axles from the differential. Mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the pinion flange, then unbolt the driveshaft from the flange and suspend it with wire to avoid stressing the center support bearing. On models with an electromagnetic control coupling, disconnect the electrical connector and secure the harness out of the way. Remove the rear exhaust pipe assembly. On Highlander and 2004 and later RX 330/350 models, remove the rear subframe and differential assembly. Support the differential with a floor jack, remove its mounting bracket and bolts, then lower and remove the differential. Installation is the opposite of removal, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to the appropriate torque values and filling the differential with the correct lubricant.

Toyota Highlander Differential

The Differential in Toyota Highlander vehicles is an important part of the drive train since it causes the drive wheels to rotate at different speed; this is desirable during cornering and on surfaces with different coefficient of friction. Highlander commonly employs open differentials, which allow the engine power to be divided between both wheels, and limited-slip differentials (LSD), which permits certain differences in torque distribution, the greatly benefiting the wheel with the better grip. What is true is that open differentials can have issues dealing with slippery surfaces, while LSDs offer better handling while at the same time can be difficult to start in slick surfaces. Highlander have adopted bevel and active differentials over the years making the performance and torque better. This mechanical device is highly vital in vehicle functioning, Daily maintenance is advisable since a low level of differential fluid is hazardous, for example.
