ok, so driving home today i hear a popping noise in the front end...and its definately from the hub/axle assembly, and it seem like the hubs may not be fully disengaged or the axle maybe loose and rattling, so what size is that big nut in there that holds the axle down? im gonna go buy a socket as soon as i find out...thanks all

got it figured out...seems that when you unlock the hub, that the 2 gears or sprags still hit each other..the toyota dealer here has no idea that there is even a gasket that exists for the hubs..anyone have a part number for the cover to body paper gasket? gonna use 2...
EDIT!!! i think these hubs are from a new style, the guy said 96?? maybe they're a little longer or something??

it sounds like you got the dials and outer parts from a solid axle truck. the gear that goes in to engage the hubs is thicker. if you grind it down about a 1/16 of a inch it should be fine. if it's a solid axle dial the red part you turn to engage is not flush with the black part. ifs ones the red part is totally flush. that will tell you if you got the wrong parts. hope this helps.

the red dial ones i have are my factory IFS ones and are flush, and the grey dial ones i purchased are flush as well...i still might grind it a little, but i need gaskets...anyone??

the gray ones you have are the aisin lockout hub dials from a suzuki samria. they have the thick gear exactly like the 79-85 solid axle trucks. they will bolt rite up to a solid axle truck. isuzu aisin dials have the thin gear like the ifs trucks they will interchange with your 4 runner. i've seen threads with the part numbers for the gaskets not sure wear you will have to look though.

i swapped the gears out this am about 730 and installed it on my lunch break, voila no more noise...thanks for all your help......i musta messed with it for 2 hours before i gave up and put washers between the hub body and cover so i could go to work..
got to work and it hit me, DUMBASS doh...

so you were using the gray ones when it made the niose? it's suprising how that little difference matters so much. theres real tight tolerences in there i guess.

made the noise with both hubs, red and grey, but with the grey when unlocked and the red when locked because the red spring was broken...LOL almost identical noise too..

if the spring that is broken in the red dial is the bid spring that pushes the gear in to engage the hub you can steal it from the one gray suzuki dial you have. the gear thickness is the only difference.

just swapped the gear out onto the grey one and might do the other side tomorrow, the grey looks A Les, bOT better than the red ones, blends in a lot nicer with the grey truck and aluminum wheels...

yes that would look alot better on your truck since it's gray. i put one of the samaria dails on my 82 4x4 so i would not break up a good pair of toyota hubs i mite be able to sell on ebay. they dont make the noise on my ancient truck. glad to hear you got it working
