Do you guys recommend The stock C-V joints/shafts or aftermarket?

You though your boots are bad

First pic shows step before hub removal and second is, well, I'm you you can see the problem at hand.

this is probably the best for rebooting which is 90% of the battle.

That is the one I used.

$338.53 and be done with it. Par #'s 43410 PS or 43420 DS. The NAPA ones absolutely will break and leave you stranded. It boggles us to understand why that's even a consideration when users here have documented the rapid failures.

Dunno. Maybe Beno could help with the answer. As far as I've read they're the same L and R.

They are. It doesn't matter which side you put them on

Don't disagree... still leaves the Q of why'd Mt. T split the PN's?

The full 10 digit part number is the same. It's the diagram's shorthand code that's different - but look them up and they point to the same underlying part number.
The diagram shows 43410 for RH and 43420 for LH, but the underlying part number for both is 43430-60040.
I've seen that a lot on the toyota diagrams over the past year of parts purchasing 2 different shorthand codes Right vs. Left that boil down to the same part number.

I'm with ya tho, OregonLC - if the real 10 digit part number were different, my spidey sense would go off and tell me they're not interchangeable
