25mm Tail Shaft Spacer – Toyota LandCruiser FZJ HZJ 80 105 Series (4WD Front or Rear)
Correct driveline vibration, U-joint angles or pinion issues on your lifted or modified Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81) or 105 Series (HZJ105) with this 25mm tail shaft spacer from Machter Auto Parts. This precision-machined spacer adds length to the front or rear propshaft to restore proper phasing and U-joint alignment after suspension lifts, longer travel shocks or axle swaps – eliminates annoying driveline vibrations, clunks or premature U-joint wear common on lifted 80/105 Series running bigger tyres or towing in Australia.
Key Features
- 25mm tail shaft spacer (adds 25mm length to propshaft)
- Direct fit for 4WD front or rear tailshafts on Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990-1997) and 105 Series (1998-2007)
- High-strength steel construction – machined from solid billet for perfect balance
- Matte black powder coat finish – corrosion-resistant and low-glare
- Pre-drilled flange holes – matches factory 6-bolt pattern (135mm PCD)
- Balanced & tested – no added vibration or imbalance after install
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket propshafts, flanges and U-joints
Benefits
- Eliminates driveline vibrations – smoother highway and high-speed gravel performance
- Restores correct U-joint angles – reduces premature wear and failure on lifted setups
- Fixes pinion angle issues – better power transfer and less stress on diff/transfer case
- Simple install – bolt-on between existing flanges (no cutting shaft)
- Essential for lifts 2"+ – common fix for 80/105 Series with suspension upgrades
- Great for work rigs, touring builds or off-road 80/105 Series – keeps driveline happy
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81 1990-1997) and 105 Series (HZJ105 1998-2007) 4WD front or rear tailshafts
- Professional installation recommended – torque flange bolts to spec (usually 70-90 Nm), check pinion angle & balance after install
- Confirm your propshaft flange type (6-bolt 135mm PCD) – spacer fits standard Toyota flanges
- Measure current shaft length & angles before install – 25mm is ideal for moderate lifts (2-4")
- May require re-phasing propshaft if vibration persists – check U-joints at the same time

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a 25mm tail shaft spacer after lifting my 80/105 Series?
When you install a suspension lift, the axle moves away from the transfer case, causing the tail shaft (driveshaft) to extend. If it extends too far, the splines can become over-extended, causing vibrations, premature wear, or even shaft separation under full articulation. A 25mm spacer brings the shaft back to its optimal operating length and increases spline engagement.
Can this be used on both the front and rear driveshafts?
Yes, this spacer is designed to be compatible with both the front and rear tail shafts on 80 and 105 Series LandCruisers. Whether you need it depends on the severity of your suspension lift and how much the driveshaft has been pulled out of its slip joint.
Does the kit come with longer bolts?
Yes, since the spacer adds 25mm of width between the flange faces, your factory bolts will no longer be long enough to secure the assembly safely. This kit includes the necessary high-tensile bolts and hardware required to compensate for the additional thickness and ensure a secure, safe connection.
Will this cause vibrations in my drivetrain?
In many cases, installing the spacer actually *eliminates* drivetrain vibrations by fixing the misalignment and spline over-extension caused by a lift. However, if your tail shaft is unbalanced or worn, a spacer alone may not fix pre-existing issues. Always ensure your U-joints are in good condition when installing spacers.
Is it difficult to install?
It is a straightforward DIY task. You simply unbolt the existing tail shaft flange, insert the spacer, and bolt it back up using the included longer bolts. We recommend using a high-quality thread locker on the new bolts and torquing them to factory specifications to ensure they do not loosen over time.
