Ok, so update is I've fresh bits installed but on the first test drive I've gotten this noise: https://youtu.be/8exKAojg6qs

Its worse under load, starts not long after driving. Not a trapped stone in the rotor that i can see. I left the ABS rings on but they have clearance

I just had a thought, perhaps i'm thick as too planks for it not occuring to me before - if this setup is running equal length shafts as was mentioned above, can I use two passenger side shafts and just seperate one at the boot/inner shaft and reattach it to the hanger bearing? Is there a reason ...

This has been a nightmare, the passenger shaft and CVS from repco had a same compressed length from what i could measure, atleast for important measures, but now it's fitted the hole for the cotter pin is half under the nut (threads a bit longer).

Drivers side, replacing the outer cv and just ...

I've had over 60 cars now, only once have I broken an inner CV when I lowered my DA6 too far and loaded it up. Smashed dozens of outers! Even then, when it went it was just an annoying vibration, got me home no worries. Inner CVs are remarkably resilient things.

Well then, I'm not going to claim ...

Driveshafts with CVs should be a reasonable price from Toyota too, I vaguely remember them being sold at a fixed trade price for passenger cars way back when I worked at a dealership.

I got a quote $414 per side + gst from toyota. I paid 175$ per side from repco (discount day). Not that it ...

Side note: if anyone knows the correct thermostat for a silvertop that'd be great too. Supercheap guy said their computer has them all wrong


Blacktop and silvertop 20V thermostats are different sizes and do not interchange.
Just as cheap from toyota with a good discount as they are at repco ...

Drained the gearbox oil and chucked the wheels back on minus drive shafts and rolled it out of the barn to await repco figuring out how to find the shafts and cvs I need and vacuumed years worth of neglect out of the interior. Cooling system in dire need of some attention so a flush and new hoses on ...

Doing the lot, its hard a had life from what I can see.

From what I remember the face lift ae101 had the equal length shafts like yours with the hanger bearing. The earliest ones had the uneven length shafts which could be what the Repco one is.

The gze shafts are heavy duty both in design and weight if you had one of each side by side you wouldn't ...

Hey all. Started work on a new to me AE101 Levin today, had prepurchased some new driveshafts from repco and it seems they got them completely wrong.

I've uploaded a pic of whats came out of the car, drivers side. The one from repco was just one long shaft with a cv either end, it seems like it ...
