ARCHIVE Toyota Knuckle Lifetime Wiper Seal

[Longfield]

These seals are UHMW, designed for wear. You should never have to buy another wiper seal. Unlike the old three piece style felt seals that don't wipe the grit away and pick it up and drag it back and forth. These seals are only 1piece and it wipes the ball joint clean as you turn.

These seals are $35.00 a set

For Toyota PU.
All FJ + FJ-80s

So these replace the felt seal, rubber seal and steel ring of the stock setup?

I'm going to be going through a front axle or two soon...

Yes these work great, but we found they work better if you use the metal ring on top of these seals then bolt your plates on.

Longfield UHMW Knuckle Wiper Seals
A long need product is here for toyota owners. Its these nifty seals made from UHMW plastic to ensure a sure seal on the knuckle ball replacing the factory felt and rubber ball wiper.

 

[Chop Shop]

These are the parts needed to install the new seal wipers.
1 knuckle
2 Longfield replacement wiper
3 original steel keeper ring
4 upper and lower wiper retainers

 

[Chop Shop]

First I started out by flattening out the puckers pulled into the stock retainers with a hammer on the edge of the table to ensure a good flat contact.

A coat of paint and they are ready to go.

Most knuckles will look like this from years of the stock felts trapping dirt and rust under them and leaking from being a poor design.

 

[Chop Shop]

Take a grinder and wire wheel to the entire BALL area so the wiper can start with a nice clean surface.

If you have any nicks or scratches from broke birf damage then take a file and work them down till they are smooth and dont affect the new wiper.

 

[Chop Shop]

Go ahead and slip the stock retainer ring and the new wiper onto the knuckle ball like this.

 

[Chop Shop]

Next put the wiper and ring on and bolt up the lower retainer half. Make sure the wiper is in the relief machined for the stock rubber and steel ring. Be sure to place the split in the plastic ring at the top and the split in the steel ring at the bottom 180 degrees apart from each other.

Then put a little silicone sealer in the slit at the top of the plastic wiper. (see note in pic)

 

[Chop Shop]

Bolt up the upper half taking care to ensure the new wiper is centered properly and your done.

Now enjoy the new leak and grime free seal.

Contact Bobby for wiper seals. They work great.
