Re: IFS HILUX questions

Had a 4runner for 6 months when I bought it torsions were wound up all the way never broke a CV, you only break them if you can't choose a decent line and don't rev the cars tits off with the tyre in the air.

Re: Cv joints

Only come in the front, CV joints or technical term Constant Velocity joints are used in driveline systems which need to allow for suspension and steering movement. Therefore no rear axle will have CV joints unless of course you have 4 wheel steer. Your hilux would be a solid axle front, the cvs and ...

Re: 200 series live axle

What kind of 4wding do you do that requires you to have live axle? Do you just want live axles for the sake of having more flex? If you bought a Toyota Hilux 05 onwards and put lockers front and rear and a lift with some decent muddies you'll go pretty much anywhere.

It's what a lot of the guys do when they want to upgrade the 2l-te in the surfs. They chuck in the 5l-e because it has the right sensor.

You're lucky you've got the 5l-e as if you had the 5l you wouldn't have the crank angle sensor I believe is what it's called. It's more the wiring that would be a ...
