A-Premium CV Axle Shaft Assembly for Toyota 4Runner & Tacoma Front Driver/Passenger 24.25in OE-Style Splines Includes Axle Nut

A-Premium front CV axle shaft assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the front driver or passenger side on select Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma 4WD models, restoring the final drive connection between the transmission/differential and the wheel.

This engineered axle equips your vehicle with a ready-to-install, vehicle-specific half-shaft designed for Toyota 4Runner models (1996–2002, 4WD) and Tacoma models (1995–2004, specific 4WD years and configurations). It matches OE-style spline counts, spindle nut thread, and overall compressed length so it engages cleanly with factory hubs and differentials. The part ships with the axle nut included and is backed by a one-year unlimited-mileage A-Premium guarantee.
