CV shaft.

[cali-cruiser]

Does anyone know if this CV shaft from a 85 fj 60 would work on my 75 fj40

I think it could reduce some of my cab noise.

Thats the rear of my fj40

These are for vibration control, never heard of noise coming from a driveshaft unless something is f'd bad..........you have a cummins in it right?
Noise??

The more the drivline angle the more vibration/noise its going to make. plus I could probably use a longer one.

I believe the flanges are different. Length can be adjusted.

I'm sprung over stock springs and have never had a cv on either end, smooth as silk up to 80 mph, I don't drive with the front engaged on the highway.

The flanges will match, fourspeed-to-fourspeed.

You'll notice vibration before you hear anything. To run it, you'll have to rotate the axle so it points at the transfercase. The CV cancels itself out, so the single ujoint has to be straight otherwise you'll have vibration (within 5 degrees you're usually okay.)

I have used '83 and '84 FJ60 front drive shafts with the double-cardan joint on my '75 FJ40. Had to have the lengths altered. I am uncertain if the '85 is the same. Maybe someone can answer or post to the 60 forum. If you use the DC d-shaft, rotate your pinion up so there is no or next to no angle at the pinion and d-shaft. You can do this with shims or cut/rotate/weld the spring perches. Obviously, put the DC end at the t-case.

I have an 83 FJ60 CV on the rear of my 40, which runs the 75 parking brake drum and pinion flanges like yours. It bolted right up, and was the only thing that would cure the vibration for the 9 months that I ran the rear axle SOA. Length was good too.

I've read several places that shaft flange pattern changed in 85, but part way thru the year. Don't remember, and never investigated it.

On any 40 with 4" of lift or better, I would recommend it.

i'm running an extended 85 4runner front shaft on the back of my 68 40...works great. i've topped butch's 80mph by about 20 more...short wheelbase does not do good at high speeds.

IIRC,
With the addition of the spacer on the rear of the transmission in 85, Toyota quit using a CV driveshaft on the 60's. (spacer reduced angles enough apparently). So it is kind of a moot point.

That would make sense! Thanks.
