Hello Alphard & Velfire friends.

My Vellfire (2008 3.5, 4wd) (AH20W) has a whine/grinding noise from the rear differential, have been told it was the rear differential coupler. Do any of you guys know the OEM code for it?

Im from Canada. Been told its the same one as a 2009 to 2014 Toyota Venza or Matrix # 41303-68013. Can anyone confirm?

Since I'm new here I figured ill post a picture of my baby. I call it the eggplant.

Cheers

You could try amayama.com, put in your car details and search for the part - that will give you the part number and a cost for importing from Japan. The part number is key as you can use that to find other sources.

Could be this item on ebay - 265391261860

From the ebay descripton -

"Toyota Genuine parts

2 Bearings and dust deflector for Toyota Alphard ANH 25 and GGH25 viscous coupling

You have the noise in viscous coupling  !! The solution is change of front bearing and the dust deflector."

Thank you both.

Just for new users with this issue or people who used Google to find this, the part number for the viscous coupling is, 41303-58033. Couldn't find anything similar in Canada....

From Amayama it's around 1.5k CAD not including shipping or duties.

I've contacted the eBay seller, he's from Canada but somehow his post does not ship to Canada.

Will update with results!
