I am preparing for a front axle service and just received these RCV axles. Are they the right ones? They don’t look like the picture, not sure if the axle spines are long enough for front elocker, and there is no abs ring. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.
Part number RCVJ2474-30TRCV
1997 Land Cruiser factory locked.

Looks like my RCVs. Installed a few days ago.
The ABS ring has to be moved from your old shafts, or get new rings from Cruiserteq for a fair price.

Mine are a different part number. The only ones they had in stock.

BTW- The little QR card that says scan here for instructions will not get you any instructions from RCV that is for Toyota. I called them to ask how much of their grease needs to be used for it birfs. The single tube of grease doesn’t seem enough. The gentleman I spoke to was super evasive and unwilling to directly answer ANY questions.

I found some posts on here (Beno) wrote about washing the “magic” $50 grease out and using a good high moly grease that’s more easily available. I ended up putting 1.5 tubes of Shaeffer 238 in each side.

Very helpful. Thank you.
How easy is it to swap abs rings?
Also I was thinking of washing out grease as well to match grease I will use in knuckle.

I plan to delete my ABS after seeing that new sensor for the front means spending $600-$900. So I did not take them off my stock shafts.

When I saw these for $28 - it made sense to buy the new ones and avoid knocking the old ones off.

They come off easy with a little torch work to expand the metal on the ring, also 28$ ain’t bad either.
