Toyota uses a long list of trusted outside manufacturers to do this kind of work. The Parts guy was blowing smoke up your skirt to make you feel better.

So if Toyota doesn't do the work and outside manufacturers do, then why don't other remanufactured parts - also made by outside manufacturers - have the same high level of quality? Good question. The answer is that Toyota holds their suppliers to much higher standards.

While it is true that Toyota OEM parts come in a Toyota box, that doesn't mean Toyota manufactured them. As I said in my previous post, Toyota uses a number of trusted suppliers to make their parts. They have a financial interest in many of them. The same is true for all automotive manufacturers.

ok, when we say our 4runner was made by Toyota, that's what we mean to say, even though little is actually "manufactured" by Toyota. so the remans are done under the guidance of Toyota, to me that is the same thing, they are "Toyota" parts.

Black painted inner joint (don't see the outer joint), crimp style cv boot clamps and a sticker on the shaft.
That's how i remembered Toyota made a shaft.

Could it be times have changed on the Toyota reman process requirements? Unpainted joints, fold over lock style boot clamps and no Toyota sticker on shaft.

Yep someone said the inner joint was painted and I wanted to show that. This one is less than 6 months old. I didn't even notice the QR code til I wiped the dust off it. If it's unpainted and totally generic and sold as an OEM re-man, I'd find it a little sus....

Well the shaft looks like an OEM on yours and is clearly showing it’s a Toyota oem axle. I can honestly say, I don’t know for sure that mine is a OEM reman. All I know is the ones the mechanic put on are definitely closer to size then the previous ones they put on there and clearly look smaller and aftermarket.

My driver side cv axle is starting to leak and I’m guessing in the next 2-4 years I’ll be replacing it myself and will be buying a reman from the dealer. I will report back then to show Toyotas current status on reman cv axles!

Thank you for taking the time on snapping the photos and uploading them.
