The supplier gives a single reference number for both axles, 4343004070, with a compressed length of 25.5–27.6 inches (647–702 mm) and 30-tooth external splines at both the inner and outer ends. Easy Life Markets sells the two axles together for 4Runner owners and workshops who would rather renew both front axles in one job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a four-wheel-drive 4Runner, the front differential sends power out to each front wheel through a CV axle. Each axle has an inner joint that slides in and out as the suspension travels and an outer joint that lets the wheel steer, and both are packed with grease and sealed by flexible boots. A 4Runner that sees dirt roads, mud or a suspension lift works these joints and boots harder than a road car does. When a boot tears, the grease is thrown out and grit gets in, and the joint soon starts clicking or vibrating.

When one boot has failed or one joint has started clicking, the other side is usually close behind. Fitting the 2003-2022 4Runner CV axle pair in one session means the front end only comes apart once, and both sides start again with fresh joints and boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLooking After CV Axles on a 4x4\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave a look at the boots after any off-road trip and whenever the vehicle is on a lift. Mud and sticks can nick a boot without you noticing, and a small split is easy to miss until grease appears on the wheel. Rinse the underside after driving through mud or salted roads, and avoid hard throttle with the steering on full lock in four-wheel drive, because that is when the outer joints are under the most strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTools and Parts to Have Ready\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need a large socket and breaker bar for the axle nut, a torque wrench, a pry bar or slide hammer for the inner joint, and solid axle stands. It is sensible to have new axle nuts, cotter pins and differential seals to hand if your service manual calls for them, along with the correct front differential oil for topping up. Lay the new and old axles side by side before fitting, so you can compare the length and both spline ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Axle Pair Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set suits owners of four-wheel-drive Toyota 4Runner models from 2003 to 2022, independent garages, and off-road enthusiasts who have confirmed the 4343004070 reference number, or matching length and spline counts, for their vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Toyota part?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under the Toyota reference number 4343004070.
