Description
Part Description
This rear drive shaft was removed from a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4×2 standard cab with 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission (excluding PreRunner models). The part has been professionally inspected for structural integrity and is currently on our shelf ready for immediate shipment.
The rear drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential in rear-wheel drive vehicles. Common replacement reasons include worn universal joints, damaged yokes, bent shaft from impact damage, or vibration issues during acceleration. A failing drive shaft can cause clunking noises, vibrations, or complete loss of power to the rear wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this drive shaft fit my 2006 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner?
No, this drive shaft is specifically for non-PreRunner models. PreRunner models have different drivetrain specifications and require a different part number.
What are signs that my Tacoma’s rear drive shaft needs replacement?
Common symptoms include clunking noises during acceleration or deceleration, vibrations felt through the floor or seat, and grinding sounds when turning. These often indicate worn universal joints or a damaged shaft.
Is this drive shaft compatible with automatic transmission Tacomas?
This specific drive shaft is designed for manual transmission applications. Automatic transmission models may have different specifications and should be verified before ordering.
How do I verify this is the correct drive shaft for my truck?
Check your vehicle’s drivetrain configuration – it must be 4×2 (rear-wheel drive), standard cab, 4-cylinder engine, and manual transmission. Our parts team can verify compatibility using your VIN number.
What tools are needed to install a rear drive shaft?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools, a floor jack, jack stands, and possibly a transmission jack for support. Some applications may require special tools for universal joint removal and installation.
