Toyota knuckle kits

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am rebuilding my Land Cruiser axle steering knuckles and was wondering where folks get their knuckle kits/bearings/seals or however you want to call them. 

I priced OEM and they are $$$$$. I found what looks like a good kit at Specter Offroad but I don't know anything about their quality. 

Thanks
John

	Trailgear, Allpro, and Marlin I believe all have them. http://www.trail-gear.com/knuckle-service for example... Edited by alabamatoy - 16 September 2010 at 12:47am

	Go with marlincrawler.com , they come with the new HD inner seals. Be sure to check your preload, don't assume the same number of shims go everwhere with the new bearings.

	Thanks guys, I didn't realize that Marlin had that much stuff for the 80 Series Cruiser. Ordered the knuckle kit with all the seals and knuckle bearings (the 13 element Koyo's) for both side for $129.00. http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/knuckle-service-kit-fj80 I may be able to drive the 4runner to the next meeting.
