Driveshaft U-joint question

[neoworm]

Can someone just confirm for me that the u-joints for the front and rear driveshafts are all the same.

Thanks.

I can kinda of remember my 80 series info and I think they are Matsuba UJ's and they were different from front to rear from what I remember, but I honestly don't know on the 100. I would think they would be different also from front to back. A quick call to the parts counter at a dealer should answer the question for sure.

Ya they are all the same. Thanks. I was 99% sure of that but I thought I'd put up a quick post to confirm. I am sorta surprised no one knew the answer though.

It depends on the year:

Front:
1/1998 - 8/2002 = 4371-60051 (was 04371-60050)
8/2002 - 11/2004 = 04371-60060
11/2004 - 5/2005 = 04371-60070

Rear:
1/1998 - 5/2005 = 04371-60060 (was 04371-35060, 04371-35061, 04371-60040, 04371-60041)

I'd have to check tomorrow when I'm back at my parts to see if any of those fronts actually interchange beyond the supercesions that Toyota shows.

The PO replaced one before I bought the truck so I just checked the PN on the invoice. Pretty sure it was a 60070 for my 03 rear shaft. The parts guy told me fronts were the same.
I was just wondering so I know if I need two different trail spares in my box.

Thanks Kurt. BTW nice 100 build. Your thread needs more eye candy though.

Working on writing the next stage of the build article... it has lots of pics.

Update:

The Front and rear driveshaft u-joints are indeed NOT the same. At least on my 2003 100.

Just an FYI.
