Hey all, I recently purchased my first land cruiser, -a 95’ FJZ80- and it’s not exactly in tip top shape.
My main concern and first project I plan on working on is the drivers side (and passenger side for that matter) knuckle. I have no experience whatsoever with solid front axles, but from what I know so far, I know I need to replace the inner axle seal. However, while looking at the Slee buyers guide, I noticed they said that if the knuckle is left in bad shape for too long, it may be past service specs.
My main question for you all is how I will be able to know whether my knuckles are past this point, and if they are, what my next step should be.
