I hate posting a thread that I'm certain should have been covered a dozen times or found in the FAQ, but an hour of searching is long enough.
The dealership wants $80 a piece for rear drive shaft U joints. I don't like to put non OEM Toyota parts on in general but I've changed many a joint with standard "affordable" joints in the past on various vehicles without any issues. Anybody have any recommendations or experience, positive/negative, with any non-Toyota joints? Please feel free to post up known part numbers as well (Toyota or other), Front & Rear if you like.
Internet search for make and model bring up plenty of choices for AC Delco, Spicer, and a few I've never heard of. Starting at $15-25 or so. $15 feels too cheap but $170 to replace the two on this 14 year old truck is kind of silly... they're just U joints...
Its a 2000.
Thanks!
