streets Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hi guys I have been trying to find a complete drivers side cv axle for a 66' Toronado. The boots for this are impossible to find. I have been told most people replace them with later year Toronado drive axles. <BR>The question is: <BR>What years from 67'on up interchange?<BR>I know I can get a rebuilt, but just plain can't afford it.<BR>As always any help would be appreciated.<BR>thanx, <BR>streets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 67-78 Toronado and Eldorado use the same axles. They can be used on 66. You may get into hub bearing differences between the 66-68 and the 69-78 axles but good news is the later bearings are easy to find.<P>Ya gotta remember if ya get a used axle it's at least 24 years old. Most RB passenger axles I've seen have had the rubber torsional damper eliminated. Good luck with yer big front-driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 You're welcome. If you decide to get a later axle and hub- 66-68 spindles are the same, 69-72 same, and 73-78 same. You can use 73-78 knucks (and disc brakes!) on an earlier car but the ball joints and tierod ends are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
