I'm about to replace the driver side inner and outer spindle bushings on my 1990 4runner and I went to the dealership and asked them if they had any inner and outer spindle bushings. They special ordered some in for me and now I have this feeling the inner ones aren't the right ones. The inner one that I got looks like the 2 brass bushings in the 2nd picture in jimrockford's write up. part number: 90381-32001 https://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech...imrockford.htm

I just want to the replace inner brass bushing and I DON'T want to do the needle bearing/bushing conversion like jimrockford. The old inner bushing shown in step 15 in jimrockford's write-up looks alot different than the one I got from the dealership.

So will the inner bushing that I bought still work without he needle bearing?

As long as they are the bushings & not the bearings. The bushing should have one in the rear of the spindle & one at the front, so four pieces for both sides.

I'm just doing one side for now and I got the inner and outer bushing but I wasn't quite sure if I got the right inner bushing because the old inner bushing looks quite a bit different than the new one. The bushing I got is the same one jimrockford used for his bushing/needle bearing upgrade and I'm not doing the needle bearing upgrade. So can I still use the bushing without installing the needle bearing?

The inside bushing SHOULD be the same....? Anyone else?

Wow you got to be kidding me. I paid $70 for that bushing and it says no returns for special orders on the receipt so I'm pretty sure I won't be able to return it if its the wrong bushing. Not even my fault if its the wrong bushing because I told the guy at the dealership I need a inner spindle bushing for a 1990 4runner. damn stealership...

I'm putting needle bearings into my free wheel hubs and don't know the correct bushings to use. Will pn 90381-32001 work for a 2000 Toyota tacoma with manual locking hubs???
