06IS250 awd rear diff
hey anyone got any recommendations besides buying brand new oem (cost like 2-3k) rear diff? its a 06 is250 awd i heard only 06-08 is compatible? looking for used since there is no aftermarket.
I haven't done any research on 250 diff's but I'm pretty sure 06 to 12 is interchangeable. Manual cars and AWD have different ratios so you need one from an AWD. It shouldn't be hard to find a used one.
Get under the car and read the tag on the bottom. It's combo of alphanumeric 3 digits. Used that as you search LKQ and ebay...
I'd do axles and leave the pinion alone. The 350 has left and right directional seals. Not sure about 250.
In my build thread there are tips for removing/installing diff, as well as tools needed, and how to install and remove seals.
Pickup around post #380 using the link in my signature. Ask if you have further questions. Diff can be out in a couple hours without pulling the suspension apart.

Royal Purple or Mobil LS synthetic gear oil. Diffs haven't exploded yet.
