Toyota 4runner Rear Axle

Prev Next
In the rear, a Dana 60 has been packed with another ARB Air Locker and chromoly axles, stopped by disc brakes. Suspending the rear is a four-link that has been reworked and helped with a custom antisway device that Bill came up with himself. From the rear crossmember, a shaft with a slip yoke has been joined to the axle to keep twist down. The slip yoke allows the axle to still move back and forth without being inhibited, and the U-joints allow the axle movement up, down, or side to side. Bill says it works surprisingly well.
