We cant. It wobbles when being a framed. We wasted a whole afternoon once because we started to a frame it but it was so bad, that we had to pull over and organize a trailer.

Hey, just wip the wheels off, and pull ALL the shims out from the king pins as a quick fix if you plan on a rebuild in the near future!!!!!! Will get ya on the road for the trip at least

are these like the hilux ones and have a replaceable seat? remember to fill them with grease if a temp fix.

depends how bad the bearings are, if they are as bad as indicated I dont think I would be risking it.

We've done that on the wobbly side so I think the shims must be well and truly screwed.

Nah, he would have painted the holes he drilled before putting the rivets in and put a layer of under body sealer between the plates and the door skin, and then sealed the edges with RTV or silicone :wink:
