  • Suspected CV shaft failure

    My Prado developed a clunk yesterday when leaving the lights and as the day went on it got worse. At first I suspected it may have been the tail shaft slip joint but after backing out the driveway the noise was significantly different this time. So i jacked up the front left and turned the wheel with my hands and it replicated a very similar sound. I then jacked up the front right and did the same thing and produced the same noise coming from the left hand side.

    My diagnosis is the CV shaft as failed and is booked in Toyota tomorrow to get looked at. I find it unusual that a car with 55,000 kays on it needs this already and has done very very little off road work. I'm guessing I'm going to have to pay for it since i have modified the suspension and put larger tires on the vehicle.

    Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

      40mm tuff dog. After further inspection it looks like the bearing on the output shaft of the diff may have collapsed.

        Is that the bearing that can suffer from over greasing of the slip joint?

          Im not aware of that but the slip joint in on the drive shaft. This problem relates to the half shafts.

            That would be the pinion bearing not the output bearing

                    Did you get "drive gently until the parts arrive" in writing?
