Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- Toyota Tacoma 2WD and 4WD with matching shafts (2005-2015)
- Toyota Tacoma Access Cab, Double Cab, and Regular Cab applications only where original shaft numbers match
Product Overview
A clunk through the wheel, binding, excess play, or a notchy feel over bumps can come from seized slip joints or worn universal joints after suspension and column mounts are checked. Replacing both intermediate sections addresses the linked shafts between the column and steering gear.
Steering is safety-critical. Compare both shaft lengths, spline profiles, pinch-bolt grooves, joint clocking, and original numbers. Do not allow the steering wheel to spin while disconnected; that can damage the clock spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fix a clunk in the steering wheel? A: Yes, if wear in an intermediate shaft joint is confirmed. Column mounts, rack, suspension, and body hardware can also clunk.
Q: Why must the wheel stay locked? A: Turning the wheel with the shaft disconnected can over-rotate and damage the clock spring.
Q: Will it fit every 2005-2015 Tacoma? A: Compare both removed shafts, splines, lengths, and reference numbers before ordering.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
