Outer Limits 4x4 Board

do the rubbers surrounding the center bearing wear out on drive train bearing appears to be ok but there is a fair bit of play in the rubber boot i have a 91 hilux dual cab

it does and when there is play its time to replace

not that hard to do, dont think they are very expansive either are you getting any vibrations

yea and there's bit of a noise happening that's why i went investigating but bearing seems ok

yeah but the bearing will be moving up and down and not held in tightly causeing a vibration/noise

if the unis are fine and there is a noise replace the centre bearing

yeah thanks for the info will do replacement

Any Hilux that comes into the workshop with a stuffed centre bearing we
have a one piece tail shaft made for it, its cheaper in the long run
It also improves universal angles

toyrex give me a bit more info on this one piece tailshaft ,so yer do away with the centre bearing altogether

I send the rear half of the rear tailshaft and have it retubed and ballanced to the correct length
You dont have to take the vehicle of the road while is is being done select H4 in the transfer case and drive on the front diff
The operational length of the tailshaft should be about 1.410 metres long
BUT CHECK THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR GEARBOX TO DIFF FLANGES FIRST
Depending what condition your slipper yoke and uni,s are in as to the final cost of the job

1400 is awfully long for small unis and thr rpm range for the tube.
