Hi all
Just got off the phone with Toyota parts dept, I am looking for the u-joints that go in the steering column both the upper and lower. He tells me that the u-joints are not sold individually, that they are part of the upper column and lower column. Could this be? They look like regular u-joints with the clips on the outside of the joint. Mine are loose but I guess ok but would like to replace them while I've got it torn down. Here's some pics




Sure could use some help in finding replacements
Thanks

 

There are some on eBay search - Toyota Steering UJOINT KNUCKLE 4Runner Pickup

 

That is not the same part
I did however find a part # 37402-10020, but still can't find any available

 

Lmgtfy... Third response is a megazip source...

Other option would be to measure it and go from there.

 

Why is it that all your responses never make any sense................

 

Lets see if I can translate; it took me a minute:

Lmgtfy = Let Me Google That For You

The third Google result for part # 37402-10020 is an OEM parts supplier located in Japan that may have parts that have been discontinued in the U.S. That company is called MegaZip: https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dl...der-3740210020

The other option is to take the U-joint apart and measure the parts to see if you can match up another U-joint from another car to use.

I think I translated correctly.

 

I have a brand new one in my tool box at work. From Toyota. They were bought individually about 13 years ago. If it is still complete I will post here and let you know if I have one. I think the part number is gone.

 

Personally I would find an older one and ditch the rag joint.

 

I will get some sizes for you so you could compare
Thanks

 

Sounds good to me.

 

Ok, Cap Dia = 19.8mm ( .780in) Length = 55.76mm ( 2.197in) As close as I can get with them still installed
Thanks

 

I got approximately the same. 19.98mm on cap diameter 58.3mm uninstalled length. I have 2 of them. I will give you one for the price of $free ninety free.

 

Many thanks to SENOR NOODLES, he had two of these and sent them out to me. Need more people like him!
Thanks again

 

Good deal.
