On a Toyota 4Runner replacing the rear differential can cost anywhere between $200 and $400. If gears are included that could jump to $1,500 or even higher. The rear differential ensures the right amount of speed is transmitted to Your tires via the engine and transmission and allows Your wheels to rotate as acceleration and power changes. Your front tires require a different speed than Your rear tires do, so Your car has both front and rear differentials.Technically, You can drive with a bad differential, but it is not wise. The problem may get worse, to the point where it leaves You stranded somewhere. It can also cause damage to other surrounding components. It is smartest and safest not to drive with a bad differential.
