Dealer?? auto parts store???

TOYOTA 1

75 from trail gear

89 from all pro



part store doesn't have them?

drew303

actually that kit you linked for $99 is only seals. Their kit with bearings is $169 http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/fr...wheel-bearings

and i was refering to this kit http://www.marlincrawler.com/steerin...ade-kit-w-arms for $489 =)

It's sunday so I cant see if the dealer has any in stock.. but from what I've read on other forums the dealer wants $45 a bearing/race.. Auto Parts stores don't carry these! I've tried NAPA, Schucks and Autozone. Either they do and their people cant find them or... they just dont carry them. I havent found any sources on the web of where other people are ordering these suckers. Everyone just gets them in the kits. I dont need the whole kit

Applied Industrial carries them but I can't find out if their local service center in Olympia has any in stock till tomorrow.

those kits dont include bearings.

And these are brand new TG Bearings that just grenaded on me. I'm not blaming the bearings for why they failed. The upper steering arm the nuts werent torqued anymore and the knuckle was over extending (steering stop tab was crushed in). I'll have to get new lock washers and use loc tite this time around to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

TOYOTA 1

those links i posted have the (trunion bearings) that you asked for, they also come with seals.

Includes all the standard knuckle service parts: wipers, felts, gaskets, lock washers, inner axle & bearing seals, hub gaskets, knuckle shims, and High Quality Japanese NSK knuckle bearings. This is not just another no-name knuckle bearing kit! Fits 79-85 Pickup/4Runner, FJ40, FJ55, FJ60 & FJ-62. Kit does not include wheel bearings. Kit covers both left and right sides.

TOYOTA 1

no problem!

Just figured out (thanks to the marlin descript) .. that all the Land cruisers use the same bearings and that part number 30303 .. Autozone and Schucks carry it. But they're computers dont list the Pickup has using that bearing (explains why they couldnt find them for me!) .. on to check napa. both are special order tho.. 31.99 from autozone.
