For sure, everything will be cleaned an repacked. I already searched and found a great thread on it here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/front-axle-rebuild-for-faq.78276/ So I'll follow that and everything will go back together cleaned and packed full of new grease:) Any other suggestions? I'm...

I have seal drivers, should be good there. As well as seal pullers. I'll wait on the birf ends, it has to stop somewhere! lol I just ordered the hydro assist etc, as well as service items, so I'll leave it as is for now and work the bugs out as they crop up

To add closure to this thread, I ordered the kit from Cruiser Outfitters yesterday. It has shipped already and is due here Saturday. Cant beat that for service! Thanks as always guys Martin

I sent him a PM. Thanks! Martin

I'm seeing Low Range Offroad has a kit also. Looks like it has a few more items? http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/lockers.html http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/toyota-fj80-land-cruiser-knuckle-rebuild-service-kit-with-japanese-wheel-bearings.html Not worried about the few dollars, but is one...

Thank you Zack. I'll order a whole rebuild kit then see what I can tear up! Any particular vendor to go with before I just Google it? Thank you Martin

So I was correct in thinking it can only be the trunnion bearings then? If so, I will just go ahead and get a full front end rebuild kit and be done with it. They were "junkyard" (guy pulled them from his LC to sell) axles, so it's to be expected.

I searched but couldn't find the same symptoms..... Driver side knuckle, TRE removed. The knuckle is a little stiff, then wants to return to center in a big way. It seems easier to turn when centered, like it's falling into a small hole? Hard to describe. It certainly isn't linear in it's...

My dealer got the parts in next morning, $64 out the door. Yeah, expensive for 8 bolts etc, but worth it to me. When I called them, with a vin, they gave me @4 options for the bolts. I had zero idea....lol

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you. Called my local dealer, and they'll have them in the morning for me. Quicker than shipping from anywhere, and they answer the darn phone! This is what the axles are under, thus why I couldn't give them MY vin.......rofl Thanks again Martin

I called earlier today, no call back.....

I called a local Toyota dealer with a vin I found for a 1997 Land Cruiser, but they came back with 3 different ones for the driveshaft to axle bolts! I swapped some FZJ 80 axles into a rig and would like to use the OEM bolts, washers and nuts for the axle to driveshaft connections. Rear is...

Yes sir I was after the stock pinion angle at stock caster though. If it works with my driveline, no need to cut and reweld that way. I was after getting the caster right by knowing the OEM pinion angle, then set it to that. If in time I get vibrations, or the angles are too far off, I ca then...

Hey guys I tried searching, no definitive answers.... I have a pair of FZJ80 axles in my '04 Discovery. I am wanting/needing the front pinion angle in regards to the correct caster. Yeah I could pull it all apart and put the caster gauge on it, but figured the front pinion flange moves in...
