Detailed Description

• Service issues on a Toyota Van rear drive shaft assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, flange style, and transmission yoke configuration before installation. Confirm rear-position fitment on the Toyota Van and inspect mating driveline components for wear before mounting the replacement shaft. Because this assembly is pre-balanced, avoid altering the shaft or adding modifications that can affect balance.
