Driveshafts

[andyc]

Looking for replacement driveshafts on a 3lt 2003 Alphard. Toyota want £1000 for each one 

A company called J&R Trading advertising them for less than £200 the pair. Their reviews are not good though. Has anyone bought from them. Can you recommend them or any other company?

IF the shaft is not bent or the balance weight is not missing, then you can get new cv joints for either end, check ebay or autodoc, jdmcarparts also do them see link https://jdmcarparts.co.uk/product-category/toyota-parts/toyota-alphard-ah10/

Hi

Complete unit, if you need it, genuine Toyota parts, from Amayama in Japan at around £350.00. Usually 2-4 weeks delivery. I have used them many times, always respond to emails etc. Just had rear axle bushes, maf & O2 sensors & resonator delivered from them with no issues. Saved £££.

Just log on and enter VIN number. Full schematics on the order form, so very easy.

Hi Picasso

I was under the impression that Amayama only supplied genuine Toyota parts.. I have only ever received parts in seemingy genuine Toyota/Lexus packaging. I wasn't even aware they were on Ebay as I order direct...Am I being screwed over? I certainly would prefer a good uk supplier.

Pzsurf don't worry I think Picasso was referring to J&R trading who I commented on earlier in the post

Sorry Christopher for the miss understanding I also buy paRts from amayama for all my genuine parts you can also by genuine parts from partsoup lot quicker shipping and if you choose fedex as your courier all import taxes prepaid

Thanks for clarifying, always had good service from them, if it's not urgent! ThinkI may need front driveshaft soon, developing a slight whine. Always appreciate your knowledge. 😀
