Installation Notes and Tips
Verify flange style, transmission yoke engagement, and overall length before installation. Compare the original shaft dimensions to the 54.375 in compressed length and confirm rear-position fitment on the 1985-1988 Toyota Cressida. Because this assembly is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, accurate vehicle identification and driveline measurement are important before removal of the original part.
