Need help on steering spindle replacement- unanswered questions
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother u guys with the mundane but but I searched and couldnt find anything on the following:
I was all ready to go on replacing the spindle, looked through the online fsm and noticed that all the seals listed are non-reusable parts. however I dont see anything in jimrockford's post about replacing them. Now, I dont mind replacing it if needed but damn, those seals will run me almost $140 in for all of them. Do they have to be replaced regardless of their condition?
Next question, while at the dealer, when they look up the parts for the spindle bearings, the roller needle bearings and the inner steering knuckle bushings are not listed for my truck. Instead, the inner and outer bearings
(part # 90080-36064 & 900836067) are the parts that are displayed. Are these the original bearings that were installed on my 4runner or are they modified versions of the originals?
thanks for your help in this one guys

UPDATE:
After looking over all the diagrams I noticed that the part numbers listed above that I had ordered were in fact the hub bearings and the part that I did need was located inside the spindle; DUHHH. When I pointed out the the part I did need they first told me that they're not sold separately and that I needed the whole steering knuckle, i then told them to locate the part numbers listed in the writeup which they found. Now I was wondering, who exactly came up with this modification because the parts manager told me he looked to see if there were any technical bulletins and there werent any
