Ln106 Hilux diff/tailshaft angle-chewing centre bearings

Post by hilux_308 »

Hey guys,
My 96 ln106 hilux has about 3 " susp lift which has left my rear tailshaft on a big angle to the centre bearing. This results in chewed centre bearings literally every 2 months or so...
What can i do to fix this...
- 1 piece tailshaft???
- fix diff angle and keep tailshaft how it is??
-castor wedges???

Any help appreciated... thanks guys.

quick and easy fix is to space the center bearing down i spaced mine 10mm with 2" and worked a treat 2 longer bolts and some bits of steel plate......

other option is to get a one peice shaft made but that can run to $400 or more can be a lot less to tho so ask around
Keep it shiny side up!
Now doing general fab work and painting
trays, trailers, engine swaps on request, some tube work, silo section sliders, rust repairs, ute chops etc
