OK so we've hit a bit of a problem... the original shims don't fit with the new diff in and Toyota don't sell any small enough to make it fit!
We got the new diff in and tried the original shims, of course they didn't fit (too big) so we pushed the diff as far to one side as it would go and measure the total distance that the shims would need to cover (with feeler gauges). It was 4.4mm, so we're assuming ideally we need 2.2mm shims on each side but the smallest shim toyota make is 2.5mm.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm struggling to find anywhere selling diff shims online, especially for this car (but not sure how vehicle specific they are really).
