2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner CV Axle / Front Drive Shaft Replacement

Introduction

This guide shows you how to replace the front CV axle drive shaft on a 2004 Toyota 4Runner 4WD, but will apply to all 4WD and 2WD 3rd Gen 4runners.

Replacement often is required due to a ripped boot and grease leakage, and you'll feel a rough ride. Replacing the entire axle is more cost-effective than just replacing the rubber boots, and is significantly easier.
