Drive shaft posts/studs

Hey now kind yota heads… anybody know a place to find posts studs for rear driveline where driveline meets transmission? My son and I were removing damaged driveline and posts studs were damaged… or does anyone know if other Toyota of the same time have the same posts /studs for driveline… thnx y’all have a tremendous day !!! Went to dealer and the dude was kinda rude I felt about locating these old parts

 

It looks like the studs are sold as part of a hub assembly from Toyota. IIRC, those studs are pressed in the hub. If they are replaceable you would have to remove the hub to access that to see if they can be pressed out. If so, you should be able to find a press-in aftermarket stud instead of having to buy a whole assembly from Toyota.

This is the one for my truck. There is no guarantee it is what fits your truck.



Which end of the driveshaft are the studs messed up. The pic above is for the hub coming out of the transfer case.

FWIW, I use a website called partsouq.com. Enter your vin# to see parts, diagrams and images only related to your truck.

 

Yes the transfer case … I’ve already removed them with out removing hub… so I’m thinking/ hoping I can replace them without taking apart more of the truck … thnx for the web page

 

Most dealer parts people are lost on parts over 5 years old.

On online parts always check out the return policy it sucks to get stuck with parts you can not return

I might be wrong but I remember those as being special bolts not studs . I changed quite a few over the years. No telling what one might find on a truck this old.

 

Yeah they are special bolts but apparently Toyota thinks of them as post/ studs at least that’s what they were telling me at the dealers …here is a picture of them

 

I suck at the internet and don’t know how to post picture on this forum

Is there enough space behind the yoke to use a regular bolt and nut setup like where the driveshaft connects to the third member?

 

Well I’m guessing so since I was able to remove them…. I just wanted to use the stock components…. Do you know where I could find high quality steel bolts ? Like not from Napa …. Real machinery grade steel bolts?

 

do you have a Fastenal or other specialty hardware store nearby?

 

There seems to be a fastenal but it’s by appointment only …. Not sure about what kind of specialist hardware store are around in

 

I came up with the PN for a land cruiser, I'm not sure if it fits Tacomas as well. Maybe @Empty_Lord can spare a minute and confirm

 

Oh thank you so much ….I’ll check in with empty lord..ur awesome
