Need a Spot
The front end on my '85 is getting pretty loose and the knuckles leak like sieves so it's time for a complete rebuild. Any suggestions on the best source - read cheapest - for tie rod ends, knuckle rebuild kits, wheel bearings etc?

this is another post that can be fought to death and already has been. A search might reap you lots of knowledge but thats not the point of this thread is it. I personally dealt with All Pro and had nothing but a good experience with them. All I needed was provided plus more. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I would get the axle seals at a toyota dealer.
Non-OEM do not seal as well, or so I have heard.

OEM is not Toyota. Its Aisin/Koyo/NipponDenso depending on the part. So you can get OEM while NOT visiting the Toyota dealer, if you shop wisely.

I used the AllPro kit in my SA conversion, but I would get the same, OEM kit, Koyo bearings from Jim Sanville in Canon City CO, 719-276-6974, [email]jim75fj40@iwon.com.[/email] Right around $70 last time I checked. Jim is a member of Rising Sun 4x4 club, and a good guy.
