hey nor cal it looks to me like it is welded to the washers but at firs i was wondering how he would get them out of the spindles. but when there is a will there is a way. alteredraptor the half shafts i have have been in my garage since 1997 the boots are shot and as the pm you sent me that was your main concern, so you will still need new boots. if you still want them i will check on how much it will cost for shipping just let me know.

Call Dan (cruiserdan) at American Toyota and order them. Tell him you are on ih8mud for your discount.

I order most of my parts as I'm over an hour from the nearest dealer.
 
The auto hubs only have one thick wheel bearing adjusting nut. The hub holds it once it's adjusted (or something like that). Manual hubs have 2 thin adjusting nuts with a locking washer between them. If you swap to Manual hubs you need to get the lock nuts to go along with them.
 
i will have to look. i know that i had autos on a 4x4 toyota van and changed them to manual. and i used everything from the donor an 87 pickup, and there was a difference. i just can not remember at this time. your best bet is to hit the you pull it lot and take the spindle off leaving the hubs untouched that will meen that the halfshafts will go with you to. then just reinstall when you get home.
 
i would... but the only issue id have is that the only place thats close enough to me, isnt the cleanest of places and i have no way to lift the vehicle up at the yard... and id have to lay in the mud for an hour... so im just gonna try and save the ones i have now and get the converting kit and hope for the best
 
To save those spindles (they are not worth saving) will take specialized tools and experience. If you don't have the tools to swap spindles, then you do not have the tools to fix the spindles you have. You need new spindles. If you can't swap them yourself, then find someone who can. Driving it around like that is a gamble at best.
 
i would get new spindles but i have no way of getting new ones... when i come close, theyre either too far away to get or ungettable from only one yard that overcharges and offers no help in getting parts from the vheicles, unless i wanna pay an extra 50 bucks... and being unemployed doesnt do me any help either
 
Put a post in the Wanted section. Someone will eventually be doing a SAS, they're probably give them to you. Any spindles '86-95 will fit.
 
i have the parts he needs i have no money due to the same reason as him so some one out there figure out a way for me to get the parts he needs to him.i have two complete spindles, with upper and lower control arms. and half shafts in need off new boots., i have no money to ship them i am sure that to ship them is not going to be cheap.so some one step in and help here.

guess what everyone, i found someone who has an 88 pickup who is also my buddies buddie, who just happens to be parting it out... i wont be able to get the parts right away, but it does sound like i can get the parts i need, and all i know is that its an 88 with the 3.0... should i just get the parts i need or just go for the whole front end???
 
well im kinda short on room now since my brother and his race car moved back... i had plans to also do the upgraded brake swap (the 4 cyl, to 6 cyl calipers and master), czu ive seen a few threads about doing that... and if i had more storage id get all i can... but any way the guy said to make an offer... now i dont know about the prices for parts, so im gonna ask for everyones or someones opinion here for an offer i should make for parts... so what should i offer this guy for parts???
