It fits but is very tight

I wish I knew the wheel hub was too big before I paid my local machine shop to fit it and before i installed it. I had to smash the brake drum and the wheel was very tight. I had to lean quite hard on the wheel to get it flush and install the lug nuts. It's about 0.010 inches larger. Otherwise it works fine.

Pros
  • Direct replacement - this axle shaft replaces original equipment on certain vehicle years, makes and models
Cons
  • Appearance

Not sure if I needed an axle but the mechanic couldn't stop.

Not sure if I need an axle but the mechanic couldn't stop the leak and wasn't sure if it was a bearing or an axle acted after changing the seal five times. Not sold with snap ring and ended up having to buy a bearing to get the snap ring (the mechanic said the bearing supplied was not of high quality). But the price is MUCH LOWER than at a Toyota dealership, even after purchasing a second bearing.

Pros
  • Rugged construction - engineered to exacting standards and tested for performance
Cons
  • Interchangeable

please turn back in waves

This item does not fit my car. The aftermarket outer seal was too large to fit in the Toyota OEM rear axle bearing housing. Called Dorman's engineering department. Assistance to confirm - attempted installation by a certified mechanic (everything looked fine except for the outer seal which did not fit like the OEM), Dorman does not sell new axle box housings that come with their seal and Dorman axle shafts where The seal sits 0.2" larger than the OEM shaft. Recommend that Revain use the VIN for

Perfect fit for 1st generation 2000-2003 Tundra Access Cab.

I kept getting conflicting information as to whether this would fit my 2003 Tundra Limited Access Cab Truck. Let me clear up any confusion. A few hours ago I just successfully replaced a bent drivers side axle shaft on my Tundra with this Dorman 630-340 axle shaft kit. It fits perfectly. In the first photo, my old shaft is about to be removed. The second photo shows a Dorman shaft, and the third photo shows a newly installed shaft with the wheel bolted on. I wanted to take more photos of the…
