Toyota 4runner CV Rear Drive Shaft

This is what you need if your Toyota 4 Runner is lifted and you are experiencing vibrations due to increased angles. Also a great upgrade for Toyota that came with a stock double cardan drive shaft. This is a rear shaft only and can be made any length you need from 35" to 50" long. If you are looking for a front shaft look here. If you can't find exactly what you are looking for, give us a call. 

Toyota drive shaft lengths and flange patterns vary. In our experience there is no single standard length or flange patterns for any particular model. To ensure that you get the right thing you will need to take a couple measurements before ordering your drive shaft. You need to measure the distance from your transfer case flange to your differential flange. You will also need to measure the bolt pattern at each end. It is important that you measure the bolt pattern on each end because they are often not the same at both ends.   

Key product features

  • Uses 1310 series universal joints. These are the most common size of u-joint there is. Replacement joints are much easier to find than stock Toyota style joints.
  • Shaft uses 2.5" diameter .083" wall DOM steel tubing. Better quality tubing than stock Toyota shafts use.
  • Can be built using our greaseable Goldseal universal joints or non-greaseable  joints. 
  • Includes 8 new 10mm bolts and nuts which may be required at either end of the shaft. 

Please check out our Toyota tech page below. If you have any questions along the way, give us a call.

2018 4Runner SR5 Lifted Double Cardan Driveshaft

I lifted my 4Runner in August of 23’ and was fighting a vibration issue from the height adjustment. I couldn’t pinpoint what was causing it, but after talking to a few buddies we dialed it down to the stock driveshaft. I purchased the double cardan and it arrived within a week (Sunday Nov. 3rd - Monday Nov. 11th). It shipped a lot quicker than I expected! I pulled all the contents out, reading all the instructions on proper care and install before doing anything. Something about having the employee’s builder tag on the driveshaft showed they stood behind their product and build quality (thanks Joel!!). Install was super easy, and after some test runs the vibration issue is completely gone. I would definitely recommend this product!

2012 4runner double cardon

I ordered a double Cardon shaft for my 2012 4Runner after a 3” lift. It didn’t eliminate my vibrations like I was hoping but perhaps my vibes are from somewhere else. The drive shaft came with everything to install and bolted right up, easy install! Also, just want to mention that I called Tom Woods with a question and a human answered the phone! Great customer service!
Thanks Tom Woods!

Perfect!

My driveshaft got here (east coast) in 5 days and fit up perfectly. Fixed the clunk and vibrations I was having from the worn out factory joint. It's so smooth and quiet now!

Awesome experience

After measuring and ordering a new driveshaft for my 97 4runner, it arrived in about 3 days. It was a perfect fit, awesome quality and installed easily. I've put about 500 miles on it so far and there isn't much more I could as for. Highly recommend and will come to Tom Woods for any driveshaft needs in the future!
