The Ds is the correct one for the truck. It is a 2001 4Runner 4wd SR5. The junkyard sells the same DS for the 2001-2002 models. I was surprised at all of the variations. This one looks exactly the same as the one I'm trying to remove. The front flange bolts are on there really tight so I...

Thank you. I will make sure they are lined up and get these bolts in and go for a spin. Here is a look at what I have:

U-joint failed at 65 and a neat staccato sound occurred so had it towed home. Had a shop press a new u-joint into the spline but it didn't seem right (binding a little when I rotated it in my hands and I could move the caps with my fingers) so I ordered an entire (junkyard) DS assembly from LKQ...

I parked it so I can replace the u joint. Yokes seem outta phase though so...might be a while.

I read your thread for spline shaft alignment. I recent replaced my u-joint on my 2001 4runner. Marked the flange to the spline shaft but not the spline to the driveshaft. It started wobbling and then popped. The spline shaft yoke is slightly skewed when compared to the yoke on the other end...

I can't understand where to squeeze the button on this connector:redbrick:

I have been trying to figure out the connector push button because I don't want to break the connector. Anyone know where the button is on the connector and the best way and tool to push it?

Duralast or CarQuest Nice tutorial. Will use the wheel well technique this time. Does it make a difference whether it is Duralast or Carquest? Are they generally "drop right in" part? Thanks

Just changed a bad rear ujoint. Put everything back together as marked. Had the lube tech give it a once over and changed rear diff fluid. Still a slight noise at 65 + mph so I drive 55. No shaking steering wheel-just a hum at high speed. Had tires balanced and rotated and getting ready to...

My 2001 4wd started squeaking so I greased it. It was quiet for a while and now there is a little squeak when it is in reverse. Too many u joints to tell which one it is
