1989 driveshaft yokes problem

[Gérard]

Hi guy's ! I'm new here I just bougha 1989 4x4 pickup.

Problem is , when i bough it I knew there was a bad Universal Joint , but bough the truck anyway knowing the repair is quite cheap.

Got the truck in my garage to discover that the 2 yokes connecting the driveshaft to the rear differential are totally beated up , the universal joint is about to pop-out.

I looked rapdily on the internet to find some , no luck soo far.

Also went to the dealer , but for 181$ the pair... it's seem a little over-priced to me.

Anyway , let me know your opinion or if you know there is an other bradn of truck that fits right there

Thanks , Gérard.

Try the folks at trdparts4u.com they normally have lots of good resources.
Beware though that $181 a pair price isnt really out of line.
Toyota 4x4's are popular trucks and finding replacement parts, OEM, Aftermarket, or used is getting harder and more expensive by the day.

Thanks for the link !

Finally I've installed the Universal Joint on the beated up yokes.... i'll find out soon enough if it'll last or not , at least it will give me some time to find an other used driveshaft or replacement parts.
