Definitely recommend!

Installed on my TRD Limited FJ Cruiser. He threw off the cardan shaft, removed the cracked cardan shaft, pressed in a new one. No more vibrations, now a smooth ride.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Functionality

Transmission and transmission OEM package

Perfect match for my 2001 Toyota Tacoma S-Runner. For additional cabins you need three. I replaced two, and because one broke and almost completely cut off one of the arms, my ride was much smoother, with no rattles or vibrations.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Upgrades

1994 4Runner Main Driveshaft

Great for my 1994 4Runner driveshaft, transfer case and rear differential (4WD, R150f transmission and VF1A transfer case). I'm being specific because nobody else writes in-depth reviews. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Reliable

Solved the vibration from my car.

Wow! This replacement removes vibration at high speeds! My 4runner vibrated at RPMs of 68-75, the old gimbals had no play at all. I did some research and replaced it anyway as the car is quite old. After self-replacement, the vibrations are gone! I'm happy with it and will update if there are any surprises.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Appearance

bad mistake. Even with fully assembled covers.

I work with Toyotas a lot and this joint was mounted on the rear shaft of a '95 pickup on a pinion. I've always used OEM Matsuba hinges but decided to see if I could save some money and make a common mistake. Even with the caps fully installed and the C-clamps fully seated, the spider will move between the caps. It lasted the full 15 miles before being worn out by slop. It may fit better and work well in other apps, but definitely not mine.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Operating Speed

does the job; Know the position of the mirror.

I usually fit genuine parts in my cars but I didn't have time to wait for the part until the Toyota OEM universal joint arrives so I bought this one. It is good and of good quality; I'm not sure what this other reviewer is complaining about. Moog is a good thing. The front driveshaft on my rear driveshaft (94 4runner) was in bad shape and it was a good replacement. However, I would caution anyone using one of these on a rear driveshaft/gimbal as the transom mount is sticking out the side of one

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Hard to tell
