Re: Building My Axle Soon...

i just ordered the alignment tool because i switched to 6 shooter knuckles and arms, but if you havent taken apart your axle the shims should be correct from the factory so i wouldnt worry about it. just keep the shims seperated.

i would get the front axle service kit: http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/front-service-parts/service-front-hilux/front-axle-service-kit just to make sure you dont have to go tearing into the axle again because you find out a bearing is shot.

the knuckle service kit: http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/front-service-parts/service-front-hilux/knuckle-service-kit is the same as above less wheel bearings.

and lastly the gasket kit http://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/front-axle-parts/front-service-parts/service-front-hilux/knuckle-gasket-seal-kit has no wheel bearings or trunion bearings. it would be my last choice.

like i said before id get the front axle service kit just to make sure you dont have to tear into it again but if you cant afford it or for some reason dont want to spend the extra $80 go for the knuckle service kit.
