birfield

Put 60 series knuckles and disk brakes on my Fj40 . This is all the all the parts that came off, from a Oct 1970 FJ40 with drum brakes . Everything is in good condition for something from 1970, just a little greasy and a little crusty. I don't want to scrap these parts backing plate/drum...

Wheeling last weekend, I was crawling down steep rocky a shaly decent with several turns, got stuck against a rock and was unable to turn (wheel would simply not turn), freed myself, heard a small ping while making the turn, and, as turned onto a flat ground I heard a very loud PING.... and...

Hello ! Member of this forum since 2012 and I have never posted anything :) My 1992 FJ80 with 283K on it recently broke something in the front driveline. I removed and checked (replaced with brand new OEM part) the outer drive flanges, and that did not solve the problem. I believe that it has...

I'm suspecting the grease leakage means these need attention. Just looking for a second opinion.

Can some one tell me how much room I will need to get long side axle/birfield combo out? That is how far from garage wall does hub need to be get the assembly out? 1968 FJ55 if that matters. Thanks.

Looking for a Birfield for a 77 FJ 40, with the wider hubs. This Birfield will be longer than most, measuring aprox 9.82 overall length.

Looking at purchasing the Birfield Seal/Knuckle Rebuild kit form Cruiser Corp. Is it a good kit and will it have everything i need? It says wheel bearings not included. Anyone know a part number for the wheel bearings? TIA!

Cautionary note: you can bend these things with a big hammer. [EDIT] - Figuring out if I need to tear it all out and start over, including the diff. Opinions vary as you will see below. Short version of learning is that you should most likely never need to hammer the axle home and that you...

I hosed my front axle birfield by hammering it home with a sledge to seat it in the new oil seal. My new oil seals are very aggressive and I had to hit it hard, slightly mushrooming the end of the birfield, making it worthless. All my fault, dumb mistake. Anyone have a used one sitting on a...

Hey guys, Need help troubleshooting the left front while in 4 wheel drive. When in 2 wheel drive and hubs not locked, it drives and turns with no problems. Hubs locked and in 4L, it goes forward and reverse no problem as long as the wheel is straight. Turn the wheel and get a clunking noise...

I wanted to post on here and see if I can get any pointers. I believe it is my birfield joints that pop in 4 low at full lock left or right. Took the square bolt out of the top of the knuckle on both sides and started greasing. They clear up but eventually always start popping again. They do...

Need some suggestions on getting the new Birfields to engage with the splines in the differential. I greased the axle splines with assembly grease and when I put the locker together I put grease on the those splines before I installed the differential on the axle. Today I finished the assembly...

I believe I'm gonna have to do a total front end rebuild. I've never done it before, but I've been researching, and collecting all the necessary tools to do the job. Should I clean and rebuild the entire assembly or get replacement parts (Birfs, inner axle rod, etc). I wanna do this right, so...

Real time help. I'm doing a knuckle job on a '92 LC axle. The DS was in rough shape with failed seals and gnerally a mess. (No history on this unit) The ball end of the axle housing is fine on the inside, but had some pitting and a few deep Mars or scratches. The pitting I think is ok. I've...

I'm doing a knuckle job on a '92 LC axle. The DS was in rough shape with failed seals and a missing bearing presumably due to a field service. (No history on this unit) The ball end of the axle housing is fine on the inside, but had some pitting and a few deep Mars or scratches. The pitting...

Off my 1997 FJZ80 with ABS tone rings. About 230K miles on them. I purchased truck with 190K about 6 years ago. Got new ones in preparation for a long road trip. They seemed to be fine - just overzealous on front axle rebuild I guess. You pay for shipping and they will be yours. Just...

Putting the Left side knuckle back together, and the Birfield has what seems like a lot of play in it compared to the passenger side. Anyone know the tolerances for play on these?
