I am freaking out!

Hey gang,

I just finished replacing the upper and lower ball joints on my 03 Prerunner. For the first time noticed that I don't have front axles! It is freaking me out.

What exactly powers powers the front wheels???? Is it that the rear wheel drives provides the power and the front wheels just spin?? I am so confused.

 

Not sure if you’re trolling, but a 2wd doesn’t get power to the front wheels only the rear wheels, the front wheels spin freely but under power move with the truck.

 

Why do you need front axles?

Prerunners are not 4wd.

 

Happy Friday

 

.Sorry, not trolling. I've watched so many YouTube videos over the last 4-5 years on folks working on Toyota vehicles. I just assumed I had them, until today.

 

Do you think a Miata has front axles?
Your prerunner is like that

 

I want to say trolling only cause he's posted tons of threads asking stuff all while working on his own truck; he would've noticed the "missing cv axles" long ago

 

my LBJ looks different…

 

TGIF

 

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt..... Answer to your question? Simple: If you don't have front axles, nothing is powering the front wheels.

Happy Friday!

 

And the missing front driveshaft, transfer case, shifter, 4wd indicator on the dash, OP, perhaps you just don’t know, but after almost 4 years on this forum and however many years you’ve owned the truck, now I’m confused

 

I'm slow I guess Kwikvette. In all seriousness I was truly freaking out.

 

I like all the responses. Y'all get a free good laugh on me tonight

 

Friday..
