5th gen CV axles in 4th gen V-8??
Torn boot, weighing pros and cons of re-booting vs new axles. Since I've got 17 yrs and 115k miles on my '04 4Runner V8 4WD, I'm leaning towards replacing the axles instead of just the boots.
I read one thread where it was mentioned that 5th gen CV axle is a direct fit for the 4th gen, even though the parts #s are different, that was the only thread I could find on this info. The appeal of that is that a 5th gen axles are about $100/axle less than a 4th gen axle.
Has anyone else gone down this road, compared the two, cups sizes, lengths, bearings, etc. and made a determination?
My concern is that the axles for the 03-09 4Runners may have had a little more beef in them due to the V-8. Would hate to find out the hard way and be stuck with an extra set of axles.
