Yup I did mine just recently. Dont know the models so well but mine is IFS and it was the CV shaft shearing just before the spline that goes into the hub.

Pull the cap off the hub & you'll see if it's buggered. More likely to be a CV or axle shaft, especially on the right side of a lockered hilux.

Given that it's still spinning I would guess inner axle shaft. The short side is a known weak link. You could replace it with a strengthened one from Howatt Engineering in Wellington & genuine CV's are only about $80

If it breaks, build it stronger.
If it doesn't break, drive it harder.

Ditto above, if you are going this far it may also be a good time for kingpin bearing replacement this takes a little while.

:shock: Took me 3 hours a side Kingpins :shock:

I think I will be quicker next time and I am putting the rear LSD into the front (when I have the money).
