Wanted FF rear axle shafts for 60 series and 70 series

[joekatana]

@joekatana sign me up!

will do but it might take a while , I need a container with a decent amount of empty space and that seems to be my biggest hurdle for this deal to finalize

Mark,

I have some 70 series axles here, can measure them, think they are out of an hjz75 Troopy? Been a few years..

 

[woytovich]

Thanks

In for a set of FF spares, Joeri. Thank you!

Just buy nitro axles

 

[woytovich]

Is it not true that GENERALLY you don't want hardened/Longfield/Nitro axles in a daily driven axle?

Yes-ish. The chrome moly (not sure I am spelling properly) is stated to be stronger breakage wise, but softer.

I have RCV axles in my 80 but only about 10,000 miles on em. I am curious to see how they last

 

[whitey45]

Here are some measurements, they were spares that came with an Aussie hjz75 I imported a few years ago. So I believe they are 70 series, but not sure.

 

[whitey45]

Measurements are from flange face to end of splines.

 

[woytovich]

If they fit my axle let's start a convo re. purchasing.... I can pill my shafts to measure - tomorrow.

I’ve got a NOS 42312-60043 on my shelf, still wrapped in Toyota plastic with part number tag.
$200 plus shipping.

Seeing this on Amayama and am hoping for some clarification re: 70 series shafts.
I am told that the 70 series (LH) long shaft is: 42312-60043
and that the 60 and 70 series share a short side part number.
Can anyone chime in on the differences in the part numbers below?

SHAFT, REAR AXLE, RH
Shaft, Rear Axle	42311-60052	367.52	1
Shaft, Rear Axle, Rh	42311-60053	336.39	1
Shaft, Rear Axle, Rh	42311-60062	225.48	1
Shaft, Rear Axle	42311-60080	182.06	1
Shaft, Rear Axle, Rh	42311-60081	183.19	1
SHAFT, REAR AXLE, LH
Shaft, Rear Axle	42312-60042	366.39	1
Shaft, Rear Axle, Lh	42312-60043	335.17	1
Shaft, Rear Axle, Lh	42312-60072	307.54	1

I measured my 70 series long side shaft today....

Running the tape measure from the OUTER face of the flange to the end of the splines I get 36 1/4"

From the INNER side of the flange (flat part) to the end of the splines I get 35 3/4"

Thoughts?

FYI My axle has factory disk brakes.... does that matter?

 

[whitey45]

35 3/4 is correct for the long side, did you measured the short side? My measurements are from the flat mating surface( inner flange) to the end of the splines.

 

[woytovich]

I didn't measure the short side but I will on this 70 series axle as well as the 60 series I have. Probably not till tomorrow.

 

[whitey45]

I would guess if the long side is correct, the short side has to be correct!

 

[woytovich]

I hope so... thanks.

 

[woytovich]

Short side of my 70 series axle is 23 15/16ths

 

[woytovich]

Thanks all... I am getting spares for the 70 series and I think I'll buy Nitros for the 60 and keep the stock ones as spares.

@woytovich

What did you end up with (if any) for your 60 FF spare axles ?

Were you able to verify is the short-side is shared between 60 and 70 series?

In the market for a pair of spares.

Thanks!
