Question Spindle Bushing on 3rd Gen?

Do 3rd Gen 4Runners have the "brass spindle bushings" like on 2nd Gens?

If so, how many have had problems with them?

well, i replaced my spindles, and there were def. no bushings. just the upper and lower ball joints.

however, even on the wheel bearings, which i thought is where the brass bushing was, is not there on ours from what i saw.

Only full float manual hub spindles have those roller bearings and brass sleeves. ADD hubs are sealed and simple.

No 3rd Gen from the factory has the brass. Only ones that have been converted to manual hubs.
