Front CV Joint Drive Shafts (Pair) – Toyota LandCruiser HDJ100 UZJ100 100 Series (IFS)
Replace worn, clicking, grinding, vibrating or torn boot front CV drive shafts on your Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (HDJ100 turbo diesel or UZJ100 petrol, independent front suspension models 1998-2007) with this complete pair (left + right) of high-quality CV joint drive shafts from Machter Auto Parts. Direct replacement for the factory axles – restores smooth power delivery, eliminates driveline noise and prevents further damage to wheel bearings, hubs or diff after high mileage, off-road abuse, towing or years of corrugations, mud and dust in Australia.
Key Features
- Sold as a pair (LH + RH front CV drive shafts) – complete ready-to-install assemblies
- Direct fit for 1998-2007 Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series with IFS (HDJ100 1HD-FTE diesel, UZJ100 2UZ-FE petrol)
- Heavy-duty CV joints – high-angle, grease-filled with reinforced boots to resist tearing
- Precision-machined splines & flanges – smooth fit to hub and diff without play
- High-strength steel shaft – balanced and heat-treated for torque and longevity
- Pre-greased joints & new boots/clamps – no need for immediate service
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket hubs, knuckles and diff outputs
Benefits
- Eliminates clicking/grinding on turns – smooth power to wheels in low-range or tight tracks
- Stops vibration & driveline shudder – better highway stability and less fatigue
- Prevents grease loss & water ingress – protects joints from contamination & failure
- Restores factory performance – essential for towing, off-road or daily driving safety
- Longer life than worn originals – heavy-duty build handles heavy loads & abuse
- Great for high-mileage work rigs, lifted builds or resto projects – brings front driveline back to new
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series (HDJ100/ UZJ100 / HZJ105 1998-2007) with independent front suspension (IFS)
- Professional installation recommended – torque hub nut to spec (usually 200-300 Nm), grease CV joints, check wheel alignment and test drive
- Replace both sides together – worn CVs on one side stress the other
- Inspect hubs, knuckles, wheel bearings and diff output while shafts are out – common to do full front-end refresh
- Confirm your axle type (IFS only) – does not fit solid front axle models

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my 100 Series CV joints are failing?
The most common symptom is a loud clicking or "clicking-clacking" noise when turning the vehicle at low speeds (such as in a car park). You may also notice a shudder or vibration when accelerating, or visually spot torn rubber CV boots, which allow grease to escape and abrasive grit to enter, quickly destroying the joint internals.
Is this CV drive shaft kit suitable for both HDJ100 and UZJ100 models?
Yes, these shafts are engineered for the Independent Front Suspension (IFS) architecture common to both the turbo-diesel (HDJ100) and V8 petrol (UZJ100) 100 Series models. They provide the correct spline count and dimensions to ensure a precise, direct-fit replacement.
Why replace the whole shaft instead of just the CV joint?
Replacing the complete CV drive shaft is far more cost-effective and reliable. By the time the CV joint fails, the inner tripod joint and the shaft splines have often accumulated significant wear. A complete assembly ensures that all critical components are brand new, saving you the labor of dismantling the old shaft and the risk of reusing fatigued parts.
Is this a difficult DIY installation?
Replacing IFS drive shafts is a moderate-to-advanced task. It involves removing the wheel, detaching the hub assembly or lower ball joint, and withdrawing the shaft from the front differential. You will need a torque wrench and basic suspension tools. If you are not comfortable working on suspension or differential components, we recommend having them fitted by a professional mechanic.
Will these handle lifted suspension?
These shafts are manufactured to meet factory specifications. If your vehicle has a significant suspension lift, the operating angle of your CV joints is increased, which accelerates wear regardless of the brand. For vehicles with lift kits, it is highly recommended to check your CV boots frequently for heat buildup or rubbing, as extreme angles can lead to premature failure even on high-quality shafts.
