My 2000 4-runner have the same unusual def. rust problem which I noticed about a year ago when I changed the shocks. The same as reported by many 4-Runner owners here. It is really unusual for a diff. to rust so much. Also have the same leaking oil problem on the rear wheel seals. I paid $300 to a mechanic to change my seals and one side started to leak again now he is telling me I have to pay about $500 to change the left rear axle because it is worn hence the leak. My mileage is 172K. I know the mileage is really high but I do take care of this baby. The engine is still solid. I also have the same shaking braking problem too. I used to boast about the genuine Toyota vehicle but from the info I get here, I don't think I will get another Toyota vehicle.
