Any idea of what what caused this damage? 72 fj40 I bought three years ago. Just getting around to rebuilding the knuckles. Did the passenger side first. Other than being too loose all was in good shape. Replaced upper/lower bearings and axle seal. Torqued everything down with the original shims and it was still too loose. Replaced shims with the 2 supplied with the rebuild kit and came up with 5 lbs of resistance and called it done. Drivers side was different #1 The nuts on the knuckle arm were loose and the cone washers are missing. They were replaced with just flat washers. #2 The bottom knuckle bearing cap was also loose but have the cone washers in place. I could move the knuckle up and down enough to see, feel and hear. Once the axle was out, knuckle removed and things cleaned a bit I can see this damage (clearance issue?). My guess is that perhaps previously a birfield joint broke and was replaced? I don’t see damage on the current joint.
