I found a 85 yota at the junk yard yesterday with a straight axle under it. The problem is its not complete. Everything looked picked off around the axle, the leafs and the birfields were still on.

Im looking to sas my 86 pickup. The thing is i dont know about axles. I dont learn from reading, i actually have to wrench Would a axle this incomplete be worth putting back together? Also what would the general price tag be in parts if i were to buy it?

Any ideas or input would be really helpful, thx

 

Yes of course you could put it back together..

What exactly is missing?

I would personally wait until you find one that is complete. But thats just my $.02

 

Everything from the birfields out was gone. They were just hanging out.

 

id look for a complete for like 3-4 hundred from hub to hub then rebuild and learn about it!!

i have a 60 series land cruiser axle that is missing calipers and rotors and even that bums me out.. cause im going to rebuild it and it add alot to the price having to peices stuff together!

 

So your going to need the knuckles, spindles, hubs etc..


maybe would be a good time to go this route if you did.
