They don't make longs for the ifs. that guarentee will be for the joint if you snap the shaft of the end of the bell part of the cv or smash it to peices i'd say they put it down to abuse if you take it back and it's clicking and so on then they waranty it. We fit a fair amount of them at work mainly FWD cars not 4x4's haven't had a drama with them yet.

Thanks for replies, $218 each is pretty expensive especially if they will give grief come warranty time. Will keep looking.

Find some genuine Toyota ones.
Even second hand gen ones will be stronger than any aftermarket CVs.

That was my thought too, there must be some s/h luxes out there that have never engaged 4WD.
