I want to apologize first if this question has specifically been answered on this forum in the past, but I haven't been able to find this exact answer. I have a 1974 FJ40 and looking to upgrade to front disc brakes. Can disc brakes from a 1978 FJ40 be bolted on my 1974, from the knuckles out...
I have the driver front on a '78 FJ40 front axle tore down to the inner knuckle. I am unable to get the Longfield axle out. I've lined up the flat spots and everything but the trunion races have been removed, but it won't come out. It looks and feels as it's getting stuck in the inner knuckle...
I previously updated the upper knuckle studs on my '78 FJ40 axle to Magnum ARP HD Knuckle Stud (140171-1-KIT); which are M12. I also added a 5th larger bolt. Sadly I managed to strip the knuckle from most of these and now need another repair. I'm running high steer arms.
Does anyone know...
From a novice, beginner, hope to be somewhat competent mechanic someday.
I was looking over my newly acquired 1968 fj40 to determine what are the "have to do's" before I get to the "what I would like to do's" and noticed this piece of rubber on front passanger side wheel knuckle.
I'm assuming...
parts are used but in good condition.
(1) passenger side knuckle housing w/ ABS sensor hole - $90
(1) birfield/CV - $80
(1) spindle - $40
or $190 if you take everything
Prefer local sale
I recently bought an FZJ80 from the original owner with complete service history going back to 2004. Truck currently has 125k on it and has been a city car/babied all its life. Last knuckle rebuild was only 20,000 miles ago. Although, that was 8 years ago.
I plan to take a trip from Florida...
Are there a year range that the mini-truck knuckle balls, spindles & hubs are the same as FJ60/62?
Where I live FJ60/62 are few & far between, but there are lots of mini-truck of all years around.
If they are the same in a certain year range it will make getting some a lot easier.

Bout to place the order. Need to determine if I want to go 66.5 (easy for mud flap retention) or 69 (full coverage). Looking for pics of a lifted 80 with either. Specifically, if anyone has the 69" with notched mudflaps that would be much appreciated. TIA...:beer:
Probably being covered but couldn't find any info.
Wondering if the knuckles/disks/hub from a 1993 pzj75 front 8'' HP will fit to an FJ40 fine spline smaller knuckle arms housing.
Just pulled the trigger on a set of slee steel skids. Wondering if I'll have to notch the belly pan skid in order to clear the ubolts.
Anyone have this setup? How was the install?
Thanks!
I have a couple of stripped holes on my right knuckle. I was going to bump the stud up a size, but the more I think about, I'd rather find another knuckle. Anyone know where I can source a used one??
Thx in advance.
using the sst tool I end up with a negative number for my bottom shim --
pulling 10 pounds of preload to adjust for what will be probably 33's
I get a total 2.20 mm of shim thickness for my total shim thickness, a difference of 2.20mm between my scribed lines (measurement D). My bottom shim...
Just finished front knuckle drum to disk upgrade on 1974 FJ40. Bought 1976 FJ55 knuckles and birfields from Deadlew. Cleaned and painted knuckles, dust shield, arms. Bought new rotors and reman calipers. Bought knuckle rebuild kit from Cruiser Outfitters. Took some time but everything...
so i was looking around for a knuckle rebuild kit and all the ones i found are for the 80's. am i missing something? I'm so close to finishing my 100 i just need this last rebuild kit and ill be able to drive it again after months of it being up on jack stands.. :cry:
