At first I was like, "A 30 minute video on U-joints? this is going to be a lot of unnecessary talking," but everything you shared, tips, measurement checks, markings, etc. was very very helpful. Thanks for the details that I would have easily overlooked. Now, time to measure what sizes I need to be sure.

I've watched many videos on DIY mechanics but this was the best yet. I still like to have a go at doing the work myself and I would confidently follow your videos, knowing that you have covered all scenarios. I have got a bit slack lately and have been getting some work done by professional mechanics and have been left less than impressed with some of the unprofessional outcomes. Well done!

If I were to just replace the entire driveshaft assembly with new toyota assemblies, would I just put them back in exactly the same orientation as the old ones and be good to go?

Thanks for the great video. My issue is I bought the car second hand and both the front and rear shafts are out of phase. Also, the front shaft has been switched (front to back) to avoid hitting the sway bar (as you said). I’ve added the sway bar drop links so far. How do you suggest I proceed with the regards to the shafts being out of phase?

Thanks for watching Brett, and sorry to hear about that unfortunate situation. It would be hard to recommend anything other than taking it to a professional driveline mechanic, as it sounds like the shafts have been removed and put back together in the wrong orientation previously, and it will be hard to figure out the correct orientations to align with where the balancing weights were first installed on each shaft. Are they at a seemingly random angle, or a multiple of 90-degrees? For the slip yoke relative to the fixed end, of each shaft

Hi David, apologies but I'm struggling to picture where this end cap is. Is that a part of the slip yoke itself (end of tube section)?

does the front shaft on an 80 series have two different ujoints? what are the part numbers of both?

@2ndGearLow

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dani, the front has one size only (29mm cap), however the joints are available with the grease zerk on either the body centre of the joint or on the end of one of the four bearing caps. This comes down to personal preference but either part number will work at both ends of the front shaft. Uni with 29mm cap and grease zerk on body centre of the uni joint - 04371-35050 Uni with 29mm cap and grease zerk on outer cap - 04371-35031 Hope that clears it up!

You replied few months ago to Chris Eves, concerning paint marks, that "Rotating the flange yokes relative to the diff/transfer ends may not have much impact" ... and I think so too because when replacing the diff bearings you lose by consequence the original alignment ...

Haha yes sorry about that, best to check it but we're aware lots of people will just be changing the uni joints

Soo… totally unrelated question but what if someone was stupid enough to separate the drive shaft without marking the alignment?

@2ndGearLow

Жыл бұрын

Putting the shaft back together without markings will be a 50/50 guess, as you may be 180 degrees out from what it was originally while still having the slip yoke in the correct phase alignment relative to the fixed end of the shaft. I.e. there are two ways for it to go together that will look in phase, but only one of them will have the balancing weights in the right position. Balancing issues can cause vibration that can wear out the transfer output seal or diff pinion seal at each end of the shaft, so best to keep it as a hypothetical if you can, but if this happens and you want to be sure you could take it to a professional driveline mechanic to check the balance of the shaft.

hypothetically, what would happen if your paint marks wore off and the tailshaft was put back in differently?

@2ndGearLow

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, thanks for your good question. The answer depends greatly on what position it's put back in. Even without any paint marks, you'd be able to get the phasing correct by aligning the slip yoke correctly in relation to the fixed end of the tailshaft (e.g. if the slip yoke was pulled out fully). Rotating the flange yokes relative to the diff/transfer ends may not have much impact. Returning the shaft phasing without markings will be a 50/50 guess, as you may be 180 degrees out from what it was originally while still having the slip yoke in phase correctly aligned relative to the fixed end of the shaft, which could result in balancing issues causing vibration that can wear out the transfer output seal or diff pinion seal at each end of the shaft. Best to keep it as a hypothetical to be safe though!
