Hilux Swivel hubs ... Argh !!!

Post by muddylux »

Swivel hubs on the lux fail every 6 months. The inner seals are good and no oil gets into the cv's.

Is there a better wipper kit seal available ?
Does anyone make a 2 piece unit so you don't have to pull the hub to replace the wipper seal ?

I'd weld the bastards up,.. but i need to turn corners sometimes. :finger:

Pretty sure longfields make a better seal but my advice stay out of the mud. Fun at the time but it'll get everywhere and destroy everything.

It's called a spindle bush, don't replace the inner axle seAls with standard ones if they are leaking oil into swivel hubs, get some heavy duty marlin ones from lockup. Was the only way I could stop the seals wearing out quickly in my lux.
