Mk1 rav4 long wheelbase

[topcop999]

I have a 1998 rav 4 4wd long wheel base . The rubber on the centre prop shaft support is splitting and when you start offf there is a squeaking sound from the rubber . I’ve been under neath and when you hold the drive shaft and wiggle it about it squeaks like dry rubber … bearing seems ok but rubber is split . I’m in the uk .

does the centre support  need replacing or can the rubber be replaced ?

That centre prop bearing has been discontinued for that model, you might have to source a non gen if even possible

Do you have the full parts ref as I’ve done a search in the number shown / highlighted and there are various listed with different numbers after the highlighted one

37230-42010 is discontinued

Any recommendations as to where to find one ?

Google suggests that you might get one on ebay among other places ...

[Parts-King]

No idea sorry, I suspect it won't be made by any third party but you never know, probably a breaker, if you can find one, the car is 25 year old so doubt anyone has anything on the shelf

Seems to be quite a few on eBay and Autodoc websites  🙂

Replacement on order from AZ motorspares  in Wakefield -2yr guarantee feee shipping £69.99

Would it  be worthwhile replacing the rear diff mount at the same time and where would you recommend buying one from as the above retailer doesn’t stock them
