Has anyone out there ever replace the O.E.M. drive shaft with a one piece shaft ?<br><br>Meaning eliminating the center bearing assembly. If so please share you comments and opinions.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Ricky D.

shouldent be a problem just make shure your diff and gearbox have the same angle otherwise you can end up with strange noises and things failing<br><br>Regards,<br> Allan<br><br>Celica XX GTE Project<br>www.geocities.com/allanlangford

the shaft should be the same, just use ur chassis number and model number to get the part no from mr T then get a quote from another dealer on the part no... if u tell im its an import they double the price, ive change alot of suspension parts on mine with standard Irish parts... Cheers Fergal

Hi All, I had wheel bearing problems with mine. The bearing was ok but the drive flange was worn were the bearing fits. The local wrecker gave we one from a Camry, had to dismantle 5 hubs to find a good one all the Celica hubs had worn the drive flange plate which was exactly the same as the Camry one the wheel bearing was reusable. A friend of mine had the same fault on his 1988 GT4. Same noise; slight knocking on left hand corners that goes away with breaking and returns when coasting. Hope this maybe of help. Regards Greg
