driveshaft

Does anyone happen to know the Inside Diameter of the tube for an FJ40 driveshaft? Unsure if it makes any difference but it is for the later style(74+?) with the larger U joints with internal snap rings. I am trying to build a driveshaft to make a trip in a couple weeks and use it as a trail...

Got off all the driveshaft bolts except one which I got to turn but it will just keep turning infinitely and not get any closer to coming out. Here is a video Should I put the nut on and then hold both and turn? Also when replacing the pinion seal should I be in neutral and parking brake or...

So was in the middle of installing a new Toyota rear driveshaft (FZJ80) using new Toyota hardware and the thought came up, should we be using threadlocker, anti-seize, or nothing at all when using new hardware?? Checking the FSM there's no mention of using anything (anti-seize, threadlocker...

Have the attached visually ‘wet’ area on the driveshaft going from the transfer case to the front axle. What could this be caused by and how can it be fixed, if not normal? Nothing dripping and could just be excess grease but just spotted this so not sure if it’s supposed to be that way. ‘15...

Well I've done this twice now. The first time, I used a pvc pipe that supposedly got the right depth. The second time, I used the wits end tool. Since I have failed twice, I'm looking for tips or confirmation on my checklist before I try this again. 1. Use wits end tool to get flush mount 2. Be...

Hello everyone. I have been looking for the front driveshaft u joint for over 6 months with no luck. I live in Malawi and had help looking and could not come up with the right size. I price South Africa Toyota and it was going to be $1,500 USD for 2 u joints. I couldn't pay that amount...

Hello, I have a question with regard to the potential driveshaft modification after a 4" lift on a BJ 41. Is it required to modify the front and/or rear driveshaft(s) after installation of a 4" lift (without front shackle reversal) and installation of longer front and rear shackles? If yes is...

I have a BJ44 that is getting a 5 speed swap. I'm going to measure what I need for driveshafts, but for comparison sake, can someone measure their unmodified oem 5 speed bj46 driveshafts for me? Better yet, if someone is selling some... 😂

Hi !! I have a friend who wants to make his long rear driveshaft and needs to specify the measurements. Above all, the measurement of the estrus where the lock attaches. Does anyone have these measurements? Thanks !!!

Hi mud, I am going crazy these last few months and thought I'd type up my thoughts and ask the mud folks what they think. This all started after I had my local fabricator friends help me 3 link my 80. Please take a look at my notes below and let me know what you think? The Truck: 4wu 3 link...

92 LC 80 series with the 3F-E 2.5" OME lift springs with caster correction bushings I have been chasing a vibration issue on acceleration under load since I bought this about 2 months ago. I think I have it narrowed down to the front DriveShaft - once I pulled the shaft the vibrations went away...

Hi all, I bought an OEM rear driveshaft from a Toyota dealership online, shopped around for the cheapest price and they offered free shipping. Also ordered some of the installation nuts for it. Well, I got the package yesterday, nuts weren't shipped, and the driveshaft was in one of those long...

On my way out of the neighborhood today, my ‘93 HDJ81 with the a442f auto transmission upshifted VERY hard on a downhill and I started hearing a cyclical metal-on-metal sound. I turned around as soon as I heard it and parked the rig. At quicker speeds (15-20mph) I couldn’t hear the sound but at...

So, I have been scrambling to get ready for a camping/wheeling thing later this week. I'm running out of time... One thing on my list is to rebuild my driveshafts. I have all the parts, just not the time, so it will have to wait until after the event. When I was reinstalling my transfer case...

I have read through multiple threads on here but have yet to find an answer. I put a front axle from a '76 40 into my '66. I did not know until yesterday they had different bolt pattern... now I know. What I'm curious is if anyone knows if I can just replace the front flange on my original...

Hey all, Im trying to piece together a super short driveshaft with a steep angle. Ive got a 4runner double cardan front driveshaft but it seems like the cardan head is pretty lengthy (7.5ish inches from weld to weld). Any suggestions on the most compact double cardan I could replacethis with...

Guy in my area is selling an FJ62. He wants $6,300. I think its worth $4,500. Thoughts? I test drove it today, brakes are soft, other than that is drives well and pretty much everything operates. The rust on the back is pretty bad, per picture. However in front of the rear driveshaft there isnt...

Chasing driveline vibrations after doing a bit of work on my fj62.( This is an Aus vehicle. So 3f H55f combo). My rear driveshaft did end up getting seperated by accident. I put it back together in phase. But have had vibrations ever since and being my daily driver have had to drive it like...

A few months back I had a grinding noise at low speeds/ low to no load. After some help from you all I replaced the rear DS, with a new fully assembled Toyota DS, which solved the problem. I called the dealer and couldnt get a definitive answer if the DS came fully greased so I added grease to...
