83' Front Axle: Knuckles?
« on: Mar 18, 2007, 04:06:15 PM »
how you guys doin. I am 18 and i dont know everything about the early toyota solid front axles.  I am buildin a 81'/83' truck and i think it is the knuckles on the front axle are leaking grease. You can see more of the bottom than the top of the birfield, if that helps at all.  I am not exactly sure what to do about this. should i buy a knuckle rebuild kit or can i fix the problem with out it. Anyone Got any ideas?    ???


Thanks,
Dan

I got my rebuild kit from All-Pro, betchya it's probably the same thing...All-Pro and Marlin are in kahoots and that kicks ass!  Push Frail-Gear outta the picture.
Go 1-Ton from the start
