SUMO Toyota 7.5" Front Differential Complete Bushing Kit

Driver-Side CV Axle Support Upgrade + Premium Installation Tools

The SUMO Complete 7.5" Differential Bushing Kit combines engineered performance with professional installation capability.
This all-inclusive kit replaces the original needle bearing on the driver-side CV axle support of Toyota 7.5" front clamshell differentials with a durable, low-friction support bushing — and provides the tooling and instructions needed for a clean, controlled installation.

Designed for strength and serviceability, this kit is ideal for shops, performance builders, and enthusiasts looking to eliminate vibration, shaft movement, and premature wear associated with the factory needle bearing.

✔ SUMO 7.5" Differential CV Axle Bushing
A metal-backed, sintered PTFE replacement engineered for long life and stable axle support.

✔ Precision Install & Removal Tools
Purpose-built fixtures and drivers tailored for the 7.5" housing to ensure consistent, correct installation of the new bushing.

✔ Protective Carrying Case
Keeps all tooling, drivers, and hardware organized and protected — perfect for mobile service techs and busy shops.

✔ Detailed Installation Instructions (PDF)
Photo-illustrated guidance to reduce guesswork and minimize install time.

Why This Upgrade Matters

Factory needle bearings have limited contact area and can wear quickly under load or in high-use conditions, leading to:

• CV axle vibration
• Shaft float
• Driveline noise
• Reduced differential support

The SUMO bushing replaces the fragile needle bearing with a full-length, low-friction support surface designed to:

• Improve axle stability
• Reduce vibration and noise
• Distribute load more effectively
• Increase service life

This engineered design performs reliably in everyday driving, towing, off-road situations, and other demanding applications.

Vehicle Compatibility

This kit is engineered to fit Toyota vehicles equipped with the 7.5" front clamshell differential, including:

• Toyota Pickup (1986–2004)
• Toyota T100
• Toyota Tacoma
• Toyota Tundra (1999–2006)
• Toyota 4Runner (up to 2002)

Driver-side axle support only.

Installation Notes & Best Practices

The SUMO bushing is slightly longer than the original needle bearing it replaces. While most carriers allow the bushing to seat correctly, diff bore variations can include an internal casting transition.

This is accounted for in the design.

Key Points Before Installation

• The bushing is intended to sit slightly proud (0.030"–0.065") above the carrier bore
• A flush install is not required for proper performance
• Do not force the bushing past any internal shoulder — excessive force can distort the part and prevent proper CV axle fitment

Use steady, even force with the included tooling, then verify installed height before assembly completion.

Compatibility & Fitment Warnings

• ❌ Not compatible with bolt-in locker systems with integrated axle support
• ❌ Not intended for manual hub carrier assemblies
• ✔ Designed specifically for Toyota 7.5" clamshell differentials
