I'm gonna look up in the IS F service manual and see how much work it is to replace it...looks like it could be that the whole rear end has to be taken out because it looks like the bushing is pressed in.

Mine was the rear driver side diff bushing. Its cracked and POSSIBLY be torn...however it's hard to tell. You know some bushings are made and they have a slight gap in between and that's normal.

I don't know what to do after I saw the worn out diff bushing. WHAT ELSE IS WORN OUT? The girl has 100,000 miles on her...do I keep her? Do I get something else?
I mean, if I sold her...BEST I could get is probably $32,000 (I'm just estimating). What car with this kind of performance and good looks can you buy for $32,000?!
More and more as the days go by, I'm getting closer to a Porsche GT3...that will be my ultimate dream car...and it's within reach by next year.

Violet got her diff fluid changed today at 100,490 miles
LOTS of gunk on the magnetic drain bolt
Pasty!
Nasty!
This was my first time replacing diff fluid. The oil that came out was not as thick as what I put in. i think Toyota recommends Toyota 80W-90, and I put in Mobil 1 75W-90. I called all around and couldn't get the recommended fluid by Toyota. Blitz_714 uses 75W-90 in his LSD so I figured it should be ok.

I had wheel hop on 2 instances from a straight launch. It directed me toward my dampners,and come to find out I had a faulty dampner on my driver side, and once replaced no wheel hop... Its quite interesting that you guys had wheel hop because I have never experianced this in a vehicle unless I had suspension issue or was drive error..

Wheel hop can be dampers or bushings or both. Supras suffer severe wheel hop until you get rid of the rear subframe bushings - those bushings are too soft from the factory, and no amount of change to the dampers fixes it.
Beating up the bushings means the car has been pushed very hard many times and when it had wheel hop issues, the driver ignored it and kept the foot in it.

There's driving fast and using the car, and there's driving fast and abusing the car. If you are regularly inducing wheel hop, your driveline will fail and often in multiple places. Shock loads like wheel hop destroy everything from the gearbox to the hubs and everything in between.
