As per my title. I noticed the mk3 uses a tripod inner, but the Mk4, IS300 and SC300 which are newer comes with a 6 ball plunging joint on the inner side. Is this actually an improvement ?
I currently have a clunk and i strongly suspect its coming from the inner tripod, and as per recommendation of a friend, I will be switching over to IS300 axles(2 left sides-shorter side) and stub axles.
