  • Hi hoops... See my post #92 in this thread. I have a 2012 diesel altitude. I did not have the new tail shaft fitted. My post has more details. I don't have a lift but I can definitely tell you that the clunk stopped after my dealer installed the new tail shaft. If your build date is similar to mine, then you would definitly not have the new tail shaft. I don't think they were even putting them in 2013 build Prado's. Get them to show you the Toyota bulletin.
    2012 Crystal Pearl Prado Altitude 150 Diesel Auto. Toyota mats and rear rubber mat. Toyo Open Country AT2's 265 65 R17 LT. OEM nudge bar. dual battery set up with Optima D34, rear power points front and rear Anderson plugs. Lightforce LED combi light bar. Kingsley side steps. Outback Ideas recovery points. Dr Air Pro 150 ltr air compressor. ARB 60 ltr fridge. GME 3550s UHF radio. Hema HX1.

I have commented on it when its been in for a service at Toyota (on the south coast NSW) on each occasion and have been told that my vehicle was delivered with the updated part and therefore the problem should not exist. They have blamed it on the fact that it has been raised (with ARB's OME) and therefore the angles have changed, wiping their hands of any responsibility.
      I assume that other people who have experienced the problem and had it rectified, have also had theirs raised and that its BS that it has anything to do with it??
      I also assume that its BS that mine was delivered with an updated part?
      Any info/help would be appreciated.
      Hi Hoops, the revised shaft does not come on any model as standard. It has an expensive coating on the splines and is only available as a replacement part normally fitted under warranty as a known problem. Generally the dealers will want to re-grease the shaft a few times prior to obtaining authorisation to replace it. I assume this is a pre-requisite of Toyota Australia.

              So out of factory warranty right? Had you reported the issue while it was still under warranty?

                Yeh out of warranty, I bought the car just after it came out of new car warranty.

                • It shouldn't matter that it was "out of warranty" as statutory warranty should still apply. It's a known issue and Toyota Australia knows it!!

                  • Doesn't statutory warranty apply only if you bought the item brand new?

                        The ACL was pretty recent, so the stat warranty didn't actually apply to the 120s.

                          Hmm, could be true amts.....would need to double check on that one. Still it's a known issue and I would definitely have a talk with Fair Trading if it were me.

                          • Anyone had any luck getting the issue resolved when out of warranty?

                            I've got a 2012 that I bought second hand and am wondering if its worth pursuing or not?

                            Just with the clunk as well, it is something that is doing damage or going to end up failing or is it just a user preference thing?

                            Obviously its not ideal
