Hi
Ive a 1999/2000 KZJ95 diesel manual, 560,000 kilometres
I was greasing her yesterday and noticed some play in the front prop shaft UJ area. Perhaps pulling a 3 tonne digger load lately did this.
I figured it was the UJ going so i rang up toyota and then i got a better price at another place. I had another look today and it appears that the play is due to the movement of the cap in the yoke hole. It only moves in one plane the other plane is tight.
Im thinking that replacing the UJ isnt going to fix this and that the problem will be worn eyes in the yoke.
Moneys tight so since they are greaseable UJs and ive noticed no vibration as of yet, im thinking of pulling out the shaft and tack welding the caps in on a couple of spots around the cap.
I will have an inspection of the clips before doing so just to check none have split. The clips are on the inside of the yoke.
Anyone being here before or able to offer some oracle words?
Thanks
