96 4Runner wheel bearing replacement
Hey guys!
Not new to the mod vehicle world, but starting my first off-road/pre-runner build.
that being said everything I replace on the vehicle I’m trying to over build so i know it will stand up to what I put it through.
My front wheel bearings are getting a little noisy, So instead of just replace with factory 2wd and call it a day I was thinking swapping to 4wd hub because the bearing looks beefier.
My question is, is it possible to just swap hub? Or would I have to replace the steering knuckle? Or would it involve swapping suspension and steering components?
im trying to do this on a somewhat budget, but don’t want to cut corners as my family will be in this. And I prefer 2wd because it mainly a family hauler.
sorry for the lengthy post.
Thank you in advance for your time.
