I have a noise/vibration in my front driveshaft. I pulled the CV joint apart, following the instructions from here:
http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/cvmod/
Step 9 says:
"When you separate the flange yoke from the "H" and drive shaft yoke, there is a spring and more needle roller bearings that the pin part of the flange yoke rides on...."
I take mine apart and I notice I have no needle bearings or spring on the pin part of the flange that the yoke rides on.
I think I found my problem. They were using an IFS driveshaft in the 4x4wire write up and mine is off an '81, but I don't think they are different in this regard?
I looked it up in the '80 FSM I have and it says if any problem is found with the CV shaft replace the whole driveshaft.
My question is would it be easier to just get a new used CV driveshaft and re-modify it, or does anyone know where I could get the needle bearings that are supposed to be in the pin? It looks like they should be longer than the needle bearings in the u-joint.
