Hi Rob, as a matter of fact, both my CV joints & shafts are now fully replaced with reconditioned units. Both went at 112,000 km, which i was told was too early. Even though it was outside the warranty period, I still chased Toyota, wrote to Head Office, and their reply was basically tough luck, even though I did the prescribed services, because I did them through non-Toyota dealers, they wanted nothing to do with it. I also do casual off-roading from time to time.
It seems to me Prado has in in-built manufacturing deficiency with CV joints, because I hear of several cases lately.
