Looking for some recommendations on what parts direction to go on two major projects on my 96 RHD FZJ80. The Two major projects are Brakes and the classic knuckle rebuild.
For brakes, planning on rotors, pads, and one caliper. Any recommendations? While I can do the OEM from Cruiser Outfitters, with shipping that $650 bill is unenjoyable, but willing to do it for the best, lasting rotors. I've seen some here discuss Powerstop rotors, any difference? Found a good deal on them, but I don't want to go for a good deal if I'm just putting crap on. If there's another brand or type recommended I'm all ears!
For the knuckle rebuild. So far there's no clicking from the Birfields, but the inner seal is done for (an annoying find on a dif. fluid change). I was planning to just get the knuckle rebuild kit from Cruiser Outfitters, maybe the bearing addition just to have. However, it is better to get new Birfs, swap them, or keep them as they are since I haven't heard any signs of wear?
Appreciate the recommendations!
