to have the correct phasing the red lines i have drawn should be in line.

As it sits now it is almost 90 deg out.

have you tried a hilux front double cardan tailshaft - length would be similar. also you could try castor bushes to point the diff up a bit more and average the angles a bit, might need to chop shock mounts and re-weld but with that sort of lift it's necessary anyway to get good droop.

how much lift are you running? mine isn't that tall with 80 series springs in.

Thats cos my rears are raised heavy duty ones.

do you think putting is correction bushings would help...I dont think they would help with that sort of lift.

Are you running an adjustable panard rod? I had to fab one up cos my rear diff was getting pulled out to the drivers side by about 2inches

don't know what years, I just grab them when I can find them at the wreckers... don't have one here now to compare unfortunately - they are close in length but maybe the hilux is a shade longer, moght need to be cut down a bit.

my panhard rods are stocker but it's on the list - the axles are off to the side about 4cm, it's noticable from the rear.


re castor bushes, every little bit helps - but if you can get a double cardan shaft then put the double joint at the transfer end and the vibration will go away

Thats what I was planning.

If I were to get a lux shaft wouldn't it be better to have the shaft pointing where it is now (towards the xfercase) rather than doing the correction as well.

Thanks for that bubs that is what I suspected.

Therefore it would be better to leave the angles as they are if I am going to fit one of these lux shafts. Would it not?
