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?

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.
