We've had an issue with the knuckle during our last trip through Bolivia. (LX450, 115K). Hope someone can help finding the solution.
At approx 104K the right-hand front knuckle was leaking. After dismantling we found that there was a groove in de drive shaft were the axle seal sits.

Hey all.
I’m finally getting around to rebuilding my knuckles, either tomorrow or the next day, for the first time and was really just wondering how long you all expect it to take me. I’m a first timer, but I have all the materials I expect to need (thanks to all of you kind folk.) I have...
Just bought this for $142.98 and Free shipping. 0-30 In.lb. Should be great for preloading the knuckle bearings, wheel bearings, and pinion bearings. CDI is a division of Snap-On Tools. Best price I could find for NEW. What's really nice is that it has a memory needle that remains at the...

Hello fellow mudders,
I’m in a bind! For the past day in a half I’ve been trying to install my knuckle bearing racers. I have a 97 fzj80 that I’m doing a birfield rebuild on, the only thing holding the project up is the damn racers. I’ve tried the freezer trick, they’ve been in the freezer...
I'm trying to get caster back to "normal" for my '97 Landcruiser with 4" front lift, 5" rear lift (J springs and spacers) while avoiding driveline vibrations... aren't we all (at one time or another). I haven't yet installed any caster correction devices, it's just all stock with a lift...
