I just called the CarQuest store to ask them to do a visual check on the axle that came in for me from their warehouse. The gal said it's completely straight, not tapered. So that sounds like it's a Tacoma axle. I then asked her to look up their part number for the Tocoma axle and the 4Runner axle to see if, by chance, they're the same. And guess what, they are. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> (The manual hub Taco is different, which is not surprising, but irrelevant to this issue.)

So now what do I do? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Keep ordering it until they get me one that's correct? (Doesn't seem too practical.) I guess maybe I could ask them to call their warehouse and ask them to send me one that they can see is tapered. Any other ideas??
