    I have a 97 std cab 4x4 Tacoma . I am trying to replace the centering ball in the rear double cardan joint but the brass pocket that the centering ball presses into is worn about 1/2 way thru and repair kit won't stay in..can the brass pocket that the repair ball kit presses into be replaced....

    Talked to Mitch at Drivetrain America...they are really helpful...got me set up with the 409-0 centering ball repair kit..the 404 kit was the wrong size that I ordered before...my bad.... The brass sleeve I was looking for is actually what was left of the original seat...here is the paper they emailed me to get the right one0505161854.jpg
