Hilux 1 piece driveshaft ?'s

Post by Area54 »

Ok boneyarders (or auto parts recyclers to be politically correct), looking for some tech on one piece rear driveshafts (to replace the two piece/centre bearing config) on LN65 hilux. Single case in my rig, what other (standard) shafts are available from the wreckers? I've seen some 1st gen shafts - but it has a smaller flange mount with M8 bolts - not sure if they use the same size uni (if so, no problem). Any others that will fit?

Nothing fits it has to be custom made to length. Also there is no stock length one that will work with the dual Case set up.

We ended up having a 3" diameter single shaft made for my brothers Hilux as we kept flogging out the centre bearing, all good so far.

Cost about $300 from memory.

Sorry, I misread your post. I though you were saying Area54 had twin cases so nothing will fit :oops:
