did someone take a divot out of my driveshaft? (1 Viewer)

[landcruiser3DP]

gents.

doing diff oil and greasing yokes and yoints (sorry it’s a bit of an inside joke).

anyway - i think i have just about finally figured out how to use this mini grease gun to grease everything.

but what have i got going on here with this new to me lx 450?

does the extension of the yoke look right? and from the marks it is in phase or do i need to look further to check phase?

lastly. looks like a crazy big impact on the - well is this part of the driveshaft here? looks like it took quite a hit?!

no problems that i am aware of but that sure looks like a big impact?!

In your last two pics, it looks like some joker squeezed your shaft in a vice when doing u-yoints - ouch.

 

[cruiserdan]

That's a problem.

time to source a new driveshaft....

 

[retrofive]

Is that just not just the dust shield? (Probably missing something and being stupid)

 

[landcruiser3DP]

thanks a lot gents.

i actually bought a titanium bicycle that looked a lot like that once but it didn’t affect the performance.
i gather nothing will be very happy when i get that thing spinning it high RPM for long periods of time?
also, what questions am i asking if i buy one off of someone used?
and what am i looking for if i find an 80 at the junk yard please? i guess i can look up a part number and have an ongoing search for the part on some app?
THANKS

i’m all ears over here. i don’t know much about these rigs obviously...

Part of the drive shaft is merely a sleeve "dust cap", thin metal, easy to dent. I thought I toast my DS, but was just that cap.

I will let the pro's chime in, but that is almost what it looks like to my novice eye.

thanks boss.

you are saying it is 37505-35020 (which is front i guess) and it is a sleeve of some kind?

37305-35020 is for the rear driveshaft.

Yes, just a dust shield. If you can compress the slip section still, it won't hurt anything. I bet it's dented enough to bind up if you compress it though--which would be a problem only if it needs to move to/past that spot during suspension movement.

It would be worth it to me to pull it off, and try to move it all around by hand and decide.

i don’t know why i still don’t understand this correspondence between part numbers in the diagrams and in the parts list. i guess i need to get into the online fiche parts list and look closer to figure it out somehow.

can i just ask you about the two diagrams here? one was a type 1 driveshaft (37110 or 37140?) and it’s associated parts and other diagram is for a later (?) type 2 driveshaft (37140 or 37110?) that has a flatter face?

thanks man.
i still don’t understand what splines into what but obviously i can see the flanges and the ujoints and the bolts.
so this photo looks like it is the front driveshaft and it is going from the transmission to the center differential i guess.
am i undoing the four (?) bolts here in green? or i guess there is also an output mount or something at the transmission?
and can i reuse these nuts and the bolts?
and you want me to try to shift the dust cover up toward the - er - toward the back of the vehicle? to see if i have room for when the - well the driveshaft will compress under suspension travel or what exactly?
THANKS

The 6 digit numbers are not part numbers. The are references to other locations in the EPC.

 

[cruiserdan]

PNCs (Part Name Codes). Can be either 5 or 6 characters.

thanks.

so, if i have a printed copy of the fiche diagrams. i basically take that number and i “manually” find it in the listing for that fiche diagram? meaning i have to look through the WHOLE list to find the part in the parts listing? i seem to be missing this step for some dumb reason.
i mean in this case i just go to 37505?

or what am i missing? did i transpose some numbers?

37505 is “sliding shaft dust cover sub assembly”?

37305-35020 Type 1
37305-36020 Type 2
37305-60020 -

one is a dust cover for type 1 shaft and the other for type 2 shaft? or what?

 

[landcruiser3DP]

PNCs (Part Name Codes). Can be either 5 or 6 characters.

so, you ID the shaft in your rig per the cross section diagram in the above picture? and one is type 1 and the other type 2?

how do you know which is which?

37305-35020 looks like dust cover for type 1?
37305-36020 is type 2?
what is 37505-60020 again?

 

[cruiserdan]

This will depend on who you believe. Toyodiy lists it like this:

Reading between the lines (since I do not have access to a real catalog I trust), something I honed over 37 years of doing it every day, a yoke with a type 1 contour will use a 37305-35020 and a yoke with a type 2 contour will use a 37305-36020 up to December 1994 and a 37305-60020 from January 1995-up.
