i have a set of aisin hubs i just rebuilt...fresh paint and all. What are these things worth?

Jay351

you could probibly get 100 bucks for the set.

Here is how they turned out..they look AWSOME I think

thook

Not very much....really. You MIGHT break even on materials for rebuild and paint. Just send them to me for a tax deduction at the end of the year. You could make'm with a real high value then. Big business does it all the time.

(On a serious note, a light coat of grease would keep the internals from rusting until you do sell them.)

i think my hubs have gone bad...the owner before me forgot to unlock them one day....(wasnt in 4wd...but they were locked)..and now they squeek everytime i start to move when in 4wd and locked in....so i might be interested in them....ecspecially since they are aisin....and basically new...lol...PM me then we can talk about this some more..thanks

Ken,

Yea I have the grease right here, im about to put a nice coat on everything. All the internal parts are all ready greased up. The pictures made them look dirtier than they are. these babie slook nice! I almost wanna put em on my truck....

thook

Just forgetting to unlock them and driving them that way won't hurt them. I'll bet you just need to grease them. Unless, it's something else squeaking. And unless, of course, you just want new hubs.

thook

Yeah, you did a good job get'm gussied up. So, why don't you keep them. Do you not already have Aisins on your truck?

camo31_10.50

well i just heard from a local shop that it will F@#$ them up if u drive with them locked in...so i figured there bad....and yes everything does need to be greased....i also need my tranny and t-case mount fixed...that way the tranny and t-case dont sway side to side about 2 inches...and yes i would like to have new hubs...lol....whats the advantage to having aisins instead of factory hubs

Tacoma750

Right now I have WARN hubs..and i cant say they've done me wrong. My other option is to put these on the truck, take the WARNs and rebuild those and sell those. I know the aisin are stronger, so that would be the wise move....

thook

NO...it WON'T. Man, I leave'm locked all the time. Ask anyone around Yotatech....they'll tell you the same. The only thing that WILL f$%k up is if it you have it in 4wd. Then, you're damaging the drivetrain, but...still...not the hubs. And factory hubs are Aisin. You have a Toyota, don't you? Do you have manual hubs, even?

Jay351

Aisins are factory hubs Somtimes they have different names on them, but look exactly the same

Oh and btw, these hubs are for IFS, they have a different spline number then the solid front axle hubs.

Aisins are the strongest hub you can buy for these trucks.

thook

Warns are good, but I like Aisins. Call me a purist about that. Yah, sell the Warns. I'm sure there's a Jeep out there in need.

Tacoma750

I dont think the warns work on jeeps lol

thook

Right...avatar...truck...SFA. Good point.

BTW, since when did they have different names on them? I've never a set from factory that didn't say Aisin.

thook

That's because nothing works on a Jeep...doooh!

(Actually, they do. Maybe not all Jeeps, but I've seen'm a lot on different ones.)

camo31_10.50

my bad...lol...i havent ever seen a name on my stockers..(of course there is a lot of mud around there..LOL)...i didnt know aisins where factory...hmm...nice to know though...thanks

camo31_10.50

just went and looked at my hubs....they say ASCO on them...are those aisins...(sorry im a newbie...this is my first truck)

thook

Don't know much about the history there between the two companies relationship, but like Aisin/Seiki.. which you will see on a lot of Toyota parts... you will see ASCO/Aisin. But, yes... it's the same.
