Hello All
Re: Hello All
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I have managed to order the UJ's today so should be able to get the front propshaft back on soon. I am having to use it as my daily driver so can anyone tell me if it ok to drive on just the front axle for trips of ten miles at a time (I want to refurbish the back propshaft once it's off)??

Re: Hello All
Personally I wouldn't run it in fwd. why not use the UJs to refurb the rear prop? its a quick and relatively easy job.

Re: Hello All
My mate ran his Hilux in fwd for a while, with little problem.
But like Scottie says, why not just refurbish the rear prop instead of the front one?

Re: Hello All
Thanks for information,
I have managed to change the order for 4 x UJ's (being spanish built they are 24mm instead of 25mm so a little harder to get hold of) so will do both the propshafts at the same time.
The rear diff pinion oil seal is proving a bit harder to get hold of though without buying a diff refurb kit.

Get more involved in the forum and it'll change depending on how involved you are.
