MOOG CV Axle Assembly 14H004 For 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma (Front)

Why Replace Your CV Axle?

Your front CV axle transfers power to the wheels—especially critical for 4WD Tacomas. When it fails, things get loud and unreliable fast.

This replacement fixes:

• Worn CV joints causing clicking/popping
• Torn boots leaking grease
• Vibration under load

What you get:

• Smooth power transfer
• Quiet operation
• Reduced vibration
• Reliable drivetrain performance

Backed by premium materials and rigorous trying out, MOOG® CV axles deliver reliable performance you’ll be able to count on. MOOG problem-solving innovations be certain fast, trouble-free installation.

What Makes MOOG Different?

This isn’t your average budget axle.

• Premium Build Quality
  MOOG is known for overbuilt components designed to last longer.
• Precision Machined Components
  Ensures proper fitment and smooth operation.
• Durable CV Boots
  Built to handle harsh conditions—off-road, towing, and daily abuse.
• Ready-to-Install Assembly
  No rebuilding—just bolt in and go.

Translation: This is for people who don’t want to do the job twice.

Vehicle Fitment

Fits:

• Toyota Tacoma (1995–2004, front axle)

(Important: Always confirm drivetrain—4WD models are the primary use case.)

KEEPS DEBRIS & MOISTURE OUT — Durable neoprene boot assists in keeping water and debris out to lend a hand save you premature failure

Signs Your CV Axle Is Done

If your Tacoma is doing any of this, it’s not subtle:

• Clicking or popping when turning
• Vibration under acceleration
• Grease leaking from axle boot
• Knocking when engaging drivetrain

Ignore it long enough and you’ll go from “annoying noise” to “not moving.”

ADDED RUST PROTECTION — Specially engineered coating applied to intermediate shaft and inboard and outboard housings to inhibit premature wear as a result of rain, snow, salt and road grime

Installation Overview

Moderate DIY job if you’ve got:

• Jack + stands (or lift)
• Socket set + breaker bar
• Some patience (old axles don’t come out quietly)

Steps:

1. Lift vehicle and remove wheel
2. Remove axle nut and disconnect hub
3. Pull old axle from differential
4. Install new axle assembly
5. Torque everything to spec

(No alignment needed—but double-check everything before hitting the road—or trail.)

BUILT TO LAST — Warmth-treated bearings, races and housings for optimal joint serve as, articulation and geometry
EVERYTHING FOR THE REPAIR — Comes with axle nut and inboard bolts (where required)
