I nicked my cv boot. I tried to put a split boot from a 4Runner on but it’s too stiff and pulls off the wheel end in a tight turn. Has anyone tried one that works? I’d really rather not pull the axle
I'm posting for a friend who has a 2017 TRD Pro . He is on a trip and has a broken front CV axle . It's clicking as he drives.
He plans on continuing his 1,000 mile trip but is not sure if it is OK to do so without causing anymore damage. Thanks in advance for your expert advice.
Been experiencing some premature failure on my inner oil seals on both the PS and DS. I have recently replaced all of the differential mounts and changed out the front differential breather all the way to the top of the diff. I have meticulously set the seals per the FSM and @2001LC and others...
My old man's land cruiser is in need of new cv axles but when he called the dealership they said they don't make them anymore? Only remanned ones. Anyone have experience with them? Does anyone know where we can order them? Reputable aftermarket brands? Thanks for any suggestions or help.
I found the front drivers wheel bearings had some play. I noticed when I remove the c clip I could move the cv axle radially in the back where it enters the hub and I noticed there is a brass bushing in there. Is there typically a small amount of radial play there or should the cv axle be riding...
Hey Ih8mud community. I recently purchased a ‘99 100 series in Texas. After driving it for a few days I realized both of my top CV boots on the front Axles are leaking. Took it to a shop and they tightened them down just for it to happen a few days later. The boots themselves are new and are not...

Hi all. Looking for advice on what to do about the CV Boots I saw leaking on my 2008 4Runner, 132k miles. See photos. Axle with the "CPTD" is passenger side and was replaced by dealership in 2019 when they said the original was leaking. The other/driver side (bottom photo) is original axle...
I'm sure this has been discussed before but right now I am extremely frustrated on this Christmas Day after installing my third CV axle in 3 months last night only to find out today when I arrived at my family's house for festivities I have checked out the install from last night and discovered...
Hi,
I just found out last night while doing an oil change that one of my inner cv boots is cracked, and has spit out a lot of cv grease. It's a 2005 GX470 with 150k miles. At 140k it had a lift done. That explains the boot issue I'm dealing with..
To keep it brief, I'm debating between buying...
2008+ LC 200 Front Axles x 2
Dealer sent me another set because first pair outer dust seals were bent. 2nd set had same issue, found out the seal comes off easily and Toyota sells it for $25…so now I have an extra set, just need to purchase the outer dust seals from Toyota. Typically $300+...
2015 LC 200 2" OME lift installed at 50,000 miles. Currently sitting at 155,000 miles. About a moth ago truck was in at a local mechanic shop for service. While at the shop I asked them to do a complete inspection. Shop reported both front CV shafts were bad and needed to be replaced. I...
In preparation of installing Ironman suspension on my LC, I am doing a diff drop. The front ride height will only increase by 1.5 inches. I recognize that is not much, coupled with the diff drop, my boots “should” be fine. I am replacing the CVs with Toyota OEMs. As I want to try to plan for...
I recently replaced the shocks and coils on my LC 100 (220k miles), and also raised the torsion bars a bit. After doing so, I just found that both sides of my CV boots are leaking between the axle and the boot - the clamps aren't tight enough at the angle they're at. Both are leaking through on...
Found some contradicting opinions on this.
My front drivers’ CV is starting to squeak, so it’s probably already plenty overdue for replacement (no tear in boot). I have a road trip slated for the holidays (CO to TX and back). My budget net of some unforeseen life stuff, a pile of maintenance...
Want to ask you guys if anyone has installed these aftermarket high angle CV axles,
TRAKMOTIVE TO8043XTT CV Axle.
01 4Runner with King coilovers up front. The shaft looks much thicker than what I took off. These pictures were taken after I removed the CV axle from the hub. TIA
Since lifting my 2007 FJ last year my inner boots started leaking. I did a quick fix last summer with some grease and new clamps. Just recently I noticed the boots have now blown out. It was recent but I'm just not sure when it happened. Not noticing any squeaking or clicking. Considering...
