Kewlinx, Bill

Seems like you are both pointing at the same part. The parts diagram shows the bushing which supports the shaft. Wish I would have known about this when I replaced the rotors and calipers and had it all apart. Looks like I have a summer project.

I have friends with older 5 speed manual 4Runners which should be the same parts. I will check with them to see if this has ever happened to them.

Not sure I can use the arctic grease hear in Utah as we get temps of 105 in the south. I will look into it.

It took years to get a good explanation for this and as usual I got it here and not at the dealer service dept. I may need to go back and educate them.

Thanks again.
