I have a 1990 Toyota Pickup 4wd, I'm looking to do a full rebuild of the front end as I need to replace the CV axles so I figure If I have to take apart the suspension to get to those anyways I might as well replace it all.

In order to make this process easier on myself I was wondering if their is a standard oem rebuild kit out there that you guys reccomend, I'd rather not have to buy each piece one by one.

Thanks in Advance.

 

No part of the front suspension has to be disassembled to change the front half-shafts.

The only kits you're likely to find are gonna be junk.

If you shop for individual OEM parts, you can shop for the best price on each one.

 

millball is correct; you don't need to remove any front suspension parts to replace the half-shafts.

But, you need to know the "secret." (Only a secret because the FSM doesn't spell it out.) The front suspension needs to be compressed, as though the truck was sitting on the tires. If you have the wheels dangling (as they would if lifted the truck by the frame), the angle is wrong and the half-shafts won't come out. I put a trolley jack under the rotor, and lift until the weight starts to transfer from the jack stands. Easy-peasy.
