Get a kit from marlin before you put it all back together  75 bucks its worth it

not sure, but find as many as you can...

you arent going to try and rebuild it are you?!

[88toyta35s [OP]]

no ill get new ones just some i think droped down in my axel i watched one drop down i just need to know how many i need to find

[Rockdiver]

They should not have dropped past birfield unless it was out before it went to pieces . Most should stick to the birfield grease when pulling axle out . Just make sure none in birfield when putting it back together

those "little rods"   are the  remains  of  a long  dead  trunion bearing  i bet that thing  wondered all over the dang road

[88toyta35s [OP]]

lucky me the 85 this came out of i only drove once and we just kept the axel for my conversion so all of that comes with the knuckle service kit casue i couldnt see those little rods and that bearing

[79coyotefrg]

heres what your "little rods"   are supposed to look like when  they  are  together 

[88toyta35s [OP]]

oh ok i see yeah so ill need the bearing kit too wont i?

[79coyotefrg]

the knuckle kit  includes  these,  but  you might want to add the  wheel bearings   

[88toyta35s [OP]]

oh ok thank you very much i will buy the wheel bearings also

[79coyotefrg]

with the knuckle rebuild kit  you get the wiper  felts,  upper and lower bearings  for the knuckle  and  shims  for the  steering arm  and lower arm  and  the  seals  needed  for your  hubs  and spindles

adding the  wheel bearings  is a smart move

oh  and you also get  lockout  gaskets too
