Rear driveshaft question
Do the newer model 4runners and/or tacomas come with a cv type driveshaft in the rear?
I thought I read somewhere they did but now i feel i may be mistaken.
I need to install a rear cv driveshaft on my 86 4runner after lifting to get rid of vibrations. I was hoping i could easily swap in a shaft from a newer model (probably have to redrill flanges) as opposed to getting a front shaft retubed or paying for a new one from high angle drivelines.
Thanks

Yes, your 4Runner does have u-joints or what are less commonly called cardan joints (after their inventer I believe). What he's looking for are two back-to-back u-joints in what is called a double cardan CV joint. Does your 4Runner have one (or two) of these on the rear driveshaft?
Personally, I'd just pick up a '84-'85 front driveshaft and have it re-tubed. Use the late model SFA driveshaft because they have the higher angle CV joint and have the proper sized bolt holes. You will need to redrill or replace the output flange on your t-case though since the pattern is not the same, the single cardan flnge is a square pattern, the double cardan flange is rectangular.
