Hi, does anyone know where I can buy some kingpin shims for my kzj78 swivel hubs in Wellington?. Have tried repco, bnt and supercheap but they only sell in a full rebuild kit which I don't really want to pay for again.. I pulled the hubs apart and cleaned it all up went to put back together and I've "misplaced" the shims. The original ones were stuffed so reuse isn't an option.


Thanks Brent

Probably need to go to Toyota....
Did you try Don Kyatts? (NZ Bus and Truck) they have all things toyota.
Part numbers are
43233-60011 厚さ=0.20 X
43234-60011 厚さ=0.50 X
43235-60010 厚さ=1.0 X
43236-60010 厚さ=0.1 X
43237-60030 厚さ=0.30 X

They are also used on Hilux
08/1978-08/1988 TOYOTA HILUX RN3*,4*,LN3*,4*
11/1983-02/1989 TOYOTA HILUX YN5*,6*,LN5*,6*
09/1988-07/1997 TOYOTA HILUX KZN130,LN8*,10*,112,13*,VZN130,YN8*,10*,130

what did you do to, or what happen to the originals, to ruin them?

One shim was all bent and crushed when removed so no good, looks like it was damaged when installed during the last fix. So nothing particularly exciting. Wish I could make up something more exciting...

what size shims do you need as I have some left over from a rebuild..

Thanks for the offer think I just need 2x .20. The rectangle ones. I see that don kyatt has them and will also try Toyota on tuesday. Although they don't seem to carry any stock so likely ex Japan. Hopefully shouldn't be much more than a couple of $$ so will order them. Just a bit of a PITA this time of year with everything shutdown. If they don't have any or it's ludicrously expensive I'll give you a shout. Happy New Year!

ill have a looksie this afternoon.. as might have a couple..

pretty sure i have a box of cruiser shims in my garage in welly .one problem is we are in the west coast and not home till next Saturday

Thanks for the offers guys. Went to G.G's today and he's sorted my missing shims out. Hopefully a late night tonight I might be back up and running..
