Got a price for Spindle bearings today from the dealer - $341 (CDN) for the pair!!!! WHAT!!! Dealer says toyota changed the design from a Brass bushing to a Roller bearing and thrust washer.
So either where do I find them cheaper? A LOT CHEAPER??? oR can I find the old style bushing? My truck originally came with ADD hubs, so that expains why their worn out, but I've got Manual hubs now so I can handle the reduced life of the bushing if they're available.
I found this article http://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/jimrockford_spindle/jimrockford.htm on replacing toyota spindle bearings. It looks like the spindle and the steering knuckle are one piece (I didn't know that), does the steering knuckle have to be removed from the truck, or can this be done on the truck.
Any more advise?
