Hi - I have a 2005 Tundra DC 4X4 and snapped a rear axle a while back. I got a junkyard rear end to get me by while I got the old rear end rebuilt, but now I can't find an axle anywhere. I'm assuming for most of you this is old news, but where can I buy a new rear axle? Can't get them from a junkyard - they won't sell without whole rear end. Dealer wants a king's ransom for an OEM axle and I'd prefer something CM if I can get it anyway.

Wow - so either this isn't an interesting topic, or no one else has found a supplier. I'm gonna assume the latter???

Just the shaft? Dorman makes one. Toyota makes one also, for three times the price. I used the Dorman, worked fine.

RC and AC 42311-34040 , $350
DC 42311-34060 , $450

I didn't know they were different. Why the $100 difference?

Interesting - Dorman site tells me they don't fit the Double Cab.....

the DC needs a wider axle shaft.
