For The WIN! It wound up not being the bearing. The hold down pin broke, and the hold down spring was stuck between the rotor and dust cover. The spring caps were all gone. The brake shoe was also allowed to sit forward due to lack of hold down and the edge of the shoe was cuttin a groove inside...

Foot, and it’s super soft right now, which is giving me hope. Wanted to tear into it tonight, but no time.

That’s my hope! And I honestly hadn’t even thought of that. The e bake never gets used so that could very well be it.

It is 100% coming from the rear passenger side. Going to try to pull the wheel and rotor this weekend and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Yea brakes are good. New pads all around fairly recently.

That’s actually a good thought. I’ll remove the rotor and see if the shoes are good and in place. And with the rotor off I can spin the hub and know for sure if the bearing is good.

120k. I’m not certain that’s what it is yet. I just noticed there is a grinding/scraping noise at low speed, and it is worse when turning, which makes me think wheel bearing. I’m going to Jack it up one night this week and see if there is play, and spin it to see if I can pinpoint the source of...

Hey all, I think my rear passenger side wheel bearing is bad. I’ve been looking to my go to spot for parts, but all they have as far as assembled bearing/hub is for the front. Are the front and rear hub assembly’s the same? I wouldn’t think so, but never know. If not, all I can find designated...

1993 land cruiser fzj80 with 265,000 miles. Truck runs great!. 3” lift (ome coils, fox shocks) snorkel, new gel battery, rear drawer/sleep platform that folds up to allow use of back seats. Recently rebuilt power steering pump. All carpet pulled out, cleaned, and killmat installed underneath...

This could be it. But I hope not, I really don’t want to take that stupid thing back off.

I recently rebuilt my power steering gear box. After reinstalling, I’ve had a problem where when I’m reverse, with my steering wheel turned all they way to the right, my steering gets stuck, and I have to put it in drive and move forward a hair to get it to unlock. What could be causing this?

Yea but they have no stock, so you have to send yours in to be rebuilt. I would have considered it if I had a spare box but I didn’t want to be without my land cruiser for that long, especially since my wife won’t let me build out the gx460 yet lol

Yea I’d do it again. Only took me about an hour for the removal, 2.5 hours for the rebuild, and we’ll see about the install, but my guess is that won’t take much time either. I’d do it again if need be, but I wouldn’t enjoy it lol.

30$ seal kit vs 400$ Box lol

Thank god, I just got all of those stupid balls in and I was going to be really mad if I had to take it back apart. Same goes for the others shaft seal as well? I looked at it closely when taking it apart and it appeared to be open side out.
