Rear Driveshaft Parts? Help!

Shop says I need a new driveshaft.... looks like I could replace the carrier bearing and the yolk in the center (the one that needs to be removed in order to replace the carrier bearing). Problem is I cannot seem to find anywhere that sells this yolk? What am I missing?

 

Maybe if you looked for yoke instead of yolk.

 

Thanks for the help with my spelling.... you wouldn’t happen to have anything helpful or intelligent to say?

 

Spicer driveline components make a majority of Toyota stuff

Perhaps calling them can help if you can get the Toyota parts counter to give you part numbers they can cross reference

 

The Spicer (Dana) part number for that yoke should be 5006150 if it’s a 5.7L, but availability maybe another story. Try some driveshaft shops in your area.

 

Hmmm... Yup... discontinued with no replacement. Maybe this is why the shop said I need to replace the whole driveshaft?

 

Call some junk yards. Not sure where you are located but finding a used driveshaft shouldn't be too hard. My guess $300 to $400.

 

Before I dive into this repair... will it be possible to drive in 4wheel after removing the rear driveshaft, or will I leak fluid from the center diff?

 

Yes you can do that.

Are you the real David Taylor tho?
