EP85 passenger side outer CV joint

[Shaun.Griffin]

Yo,

Passenger side outer CV joint has unfortunately began clicking.

I have contacted Toyota but they've messed me around and they have now came to the conclusion that it's out of stock and discontinued.

However, I've found this: http://www.adl.co.nz/Catalogue/TOYO...oot+Kits/Front+LHO+CV+Joint/1_CVJOINTSAN_188/

But under the description of that it says it's for EP71 ( I know EP71 were 4WD too )

I've checked toyodiy.com and EP71 and EP85 both share the first five digits of the part number;

EP71:

43470 SHAFT ASSY, FRONT DRIVE OUTBOARD JOINT, LH
43470-19075 (01/1985 - 03/1985) 1 $523.31
43470-19085 (10/1984 - 12/1984) 1 $534.70

EP85:

43470 SHAFT ASSY, FRONT DRIVE OUTBOARD JOINT, LH
43470-19476 1 $451.28
43470-19486 ｱﾘ(ABS) 1 $460.65

Will this EP71 joint fit my 85? What do the last 5 digits refer to? Is it size/spline count etc...

Help is greatly appreciated guys.

Cheers. Shaun

Remove the joint, count the splines and order the correct one from camskill or similar. It will be the same as an Ep91 or Ep82 joint

I checked the product code for mk1 ep82 and it's the same except for 1 number. Later 82s and 91s share the same code. Do you know off hand how many splines the early 82/85s have? Cheers dude.

you need to check mate. as Toyota don't seem to sell the joints separate its hard to find a definitive answer.

its always better to check anyway
