Looks like just a bit of mud and water mix, lucky you did not loose a hub/wheel going home thinking it was ONLY ball joints

My nickname. Means nothing in particular.

Can I blame spell-check?

Cleaned up the spindle a bit to check it out. It is most assuredly trashed. The remainder of the bearing will wiggle around, but there's no point in removing it. Everything is gouged out pretty good.

 

[taquito971]

Wow... that's pretty ugly right there.

 

[a175]

Indeed it is.

 

[niferous]

Wow mine didnt even look that bad. I'll get you the name of the folks I got my spindle from when I get home.

 

[a175]

I'm gonna need one for sure. And the nuts/washer

 

[timntrucks]

just a thougth but you might can get those parts at 4wheel parts wholesellers. they are out in cal but fast on the shipping.. now granted it has been many a year that i had to get small parts like those.

Might want to check on the condition of the original nuts that hold the spindle on. The ones that they sell now as a replacement looked cheesy to me, not near enough big around for me. I Red locktited my old ones in place and never had a problem.

 

[timntrucks]

any updates? just checking in to see .. i am guess now he needs to get some parts. does that truck have the small needle bearings under the spindle . the ones that go over the shaft. a small seal too. i have only worked on ford trucks .. that is the small stuff like what he is dealing with

 

[a175]

Just waiting of funding and parts at the moment. This got expensive quickly.

 

[4x4 Forever]

Ouch! Hope all goes well!

 

[a175]

So, I've got bearings and seals, got new brake pads (might as well change them)... I know I need a new spindle and the spindle nuts/washer, probably need new locking hubs. Anything else that I should change out while I'm down there? Would like to make just one big order from the same place.

 

[timntrucks]

dont forget that little needle bearing and small seal under the spindle

 

[a175]

I may or may not have that... I think. I'm brain dead at this point.

 

[niferous]

If you order a new spindle it will more than likely come with a new inner spindle bearing (the needle bearing mentioned) and the seals for it. Mine did. Plus I think you have to press them in anyhow. How do your hubs look? Mine looked ok until I needed to clean it getting ready to install. Once I cleaned off the grime I found a lot of boogered up gears.

 

[a175]

Yeah, I've noticed that some places let you order just the spindle/cotter pin/nut, and some you order the spindle as attached to the rotor thing. I'll probably go the latter route. As for the hubs, I haven't really gotten much of a look yet.

 

[niferous]

Something you may or may not have noticed on my post was that my new hub came with races already in the hub. No need to put in new ones. So I wound up with a bunch of races I didn't need.

 

[a175]

Well, this sucks I guess...
