ECGS metal backed bronze inlaid sintered PTFE Toyota 8 inch clamshell front differential bushing

Product Overview
The ECGS Toyota 8" Front Clamshell CV Axle Bushing is the industry-standard permanent fix for the notorious driver-side front differential vibration common in lifted Toyota trucks and SUVs. Factory Toyota 8-inch clamshell front differentials utilize a loose-tolerance needle bearing on the driver's side to support the inner CV axle stub. Once a vehicle is lifted, the modified cv axle angles put increased load on this factory bearing, causing it to wear prematurely. This leads to an annoying cyclical front-end vibration, howling noise, and excessive shaft float.
This premium upgrade completely replaces the failure-prone factory needle bearing with a high-tolerance, metal-backed Sintered PTFE bushing. By providing solid, continuous surface support around the axle stub, it eliminates radial play, eliminates drivetrain vibration, and stops shaft float permanently.
Engineering & Material Construction
  • Sintered PTFE Compound: Built using a multi-layer composition featuring a heavy-duty steel backing, a porous bronze interlayer, and a low-friction PTFE (Teflon) face coating.
  • Maintenance-Free Self-Lubrication: Engineered to utilize existing front differential gear oil to continuously lubricate the smooth-turning inner race surface.
  • Eliminates Radial Float: Tightens tolerances around the driver-side inner CV stub axle far better than loose factory roller needles can achieve.
Vehicle Fitment & Compatibility
This bushing fits the driver-side front differential of the 8" clamshell assembly across several generations of mid-size Toyota off-road platforms.

  • AWD Exclusion: This upgrade does not fit full-time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) variations of the 4Runner or manual-transmission AWD FJ Cruisers.
  • OEM Cross-Reference: Directly replaces Toyota factory needle bearing part numbers 90364-35010 and 90364-35008.
