Sorry to resurrect his thread, but I have. 1994 HDJ81 with a disintegrated set of female connectors on the engine side of the NSS. I found this out attempting to install a new NSS.
How can I get some new female pins?
I need to double check, but I’m pretty sure I have less than 10,000 miles on both shafts. You’re right, however, in that I was quite surprised at what noises and vibrations u-joints can cause.
You mean test drive without front driveshaft?
I jacked each front wheel in turn and spun them. They all spin perfectly smoothly. The driveshaft u-joints have no play that I can detect, and neither does the pinion (companion flange?).
Took out the birfield fill plug and it seems to me that...
Since I would prefer to complete a 2000 KM/1250 mile segment of trip, my temporary plan is as follows:
Check that the stub axles wiggle freely, if not abandon.
Stick a stir stick into the cavity to see if there is much less grease than expected.
Buy a grease gun and moly, use that to fill the...
The bushings are exposed directly to the knuckle cavity, how could they not be greased sufficiently?
Is it simply a question of greasing the shaft before sliding into the spindle?
Thanks,

So I rebuilt the front axle on my 1994 HDJ81. It was time, the clicking was bad. Got everything from Cruiser Outfitters:
All oil seals
Bronze spindle bushings
Birfield joints
Drive flanges
HD knuckle wipers
Wheel bearings
Some other stuff I’m probably forgetting
Not long afterwards, I started...
Well, I just tried to order 90385-19003 [BUSH(FOR REAR SHOCK ABSORBER)] and Toyota wouldn't allow it. Lexus shows it order-able, however, because it fits the LX450 in Canada. I didn't call the Lexus parts desk to confirm due to lack of time.
I'd like to get one for a trip I'm about to leave on...
I recommend avoiding DHL. At least for my area (Ottawa, Canada), it's a ducking disaster. I always pay the couple bucks to use FedEx.
Also, in case not everyone is aware, there is also Amayama for parts.
My local dealer let me know the famous bolt order finally went through yesterday and was delivered today. We also checked a bunch of other parts and they now all show as being available, so it looks like Mr. T fixed the issue!
Exactly.
I order all kinds of stuff from Partsouq, all the time. But my dealer has generally been next-day for almost everything not diesel-specific, though often significantly more than Partsouq. (Except for simple heavy things, like rotors, where they are way cheaper than Partsouq.)...
I just tried to order a bolt, 91619-61245 to be precise, which is the lower bolt on the starter in my HDJ81. My local dealer, who is always been a friend to the cruiser heads in our area, pulled it up and his computer spat back “land cruiser specific, not ordereable”. (Not an exact quote.) Both...
