Help Need New Drive shaft!!

Hello tw! Just curious where i can purchase a new whole rear driveshaft? oem or aftermarket? 4x4 09 tacoma

 

If you don't mind me asking if theirs anything wrong with the old one?

It would be cheaper to rebuild the old one unless your going for a one piece driveshaft.

 

Many guys go with a Tom Woods 1 piece driveshaft to eliminate vibrations, especially after a lift.

 

OP, not that this is a bad suggestion, but reviews on Woods' shafts have been very mixed, do your homework before going this route.

 

Say no to Tom woods. I bought front and rear shafts from him for my jeep. Complete garbage cheap ass Chinese u joints. Poor tolerances and vibration issues. I sent them back under warranty with a clear explanation of the play, and he simply balanced them and sent them back as is. So the warranty is really garbage. He won't actually fix the problems.

A one piece driveshafts really isn't the solution anyway. You should be using a stronger carrier bearing and a CV (dual cardan) rear shaft, and axle shims to correct the driveline angles.

 

Had vibrations from 0-30 mph. Took it in for check up. Quoted me that I had to change out all my u-joints parts and labor $784. When they took out my drive shaft to install u-joints they found that my yolk was cracked. So I have to replace the whole rear drive shaft assembly $1262 for new drive shaft.. Labor total of $1500

 

Up in the N.E., we have Fleet Pride which also makes driveshafts. I just had one made for a non-Toyota vehicle and it was only a couple hundred (trans yoke not included). A good driveline shop should be able to make whatever you need - just a thought.
