You need a "swivel rebuild kit". Available from repco / BNT etc.

The have the kingpin bearings, axle seal, and the rubber and felt seal and metal plates that goes on the back of the swivel.
All this stuff will probably be pretty rooted too if your kingpins are bung.

It would also pay to check the wheel bearings, and particularly, the lip seal behind them and the surface it runs on, as if thats worn out the whole lot will soon fill up with water/mud and your wheel bearings and kingpins will be buggered again.

Yeah, I think repco is about $210 :shock: Not sure about BNT's price, but I know they have them or if supercheap does them. Would be worth a check.

BnT are usualy about the same price give or take $20. If you are after a quick fix you can buy just the bearings at any bearing shop they are just a standerd size. But as Ben said best check all the other bits, the king pin bearings normaly crap out because the knuckle seal is letting water in.
Better doing it all now while its apart that pulling it all down later with the same problem

:lol: :lol: bearings being cheaper I bought a set for a mates hilux last yr and I'll never bother again the dimensions are particular to the hilux kingpin even lists that in the seaco parts book :roll: get this retail $76 each!!! luckily I knew one of the guys there I ended up paying $38 each ...
Not certain on the zuk but I know BNT's swivil kits for Toyotas contain the inner bearing seal and inner hub seal.... check out what each suppliers kit contains as well as price :wink: some of them don't have that many bits :?

Have a look on the net for the number for NZ bus and truck spares, they sell the terrain tamer brand, trust me its cheaper than any bearing shop or repco,bnt ect......
e.g. hilux/cruiser wheel bearing kits $59 inc, and thats with Timken bearings in the kit not some cheap shitty brand.

hmmm thats one of the kits thats was'nt as complete from memory :? check what comes in the kit ... I'll ask Steve tomorrow he's the one who got it and find out what it didn't include I remember there was something we had to go and buy extra.....
On the plus side it was cheap and they have awsome service, we got it the next day 8) and we're in the Hawkes Bay

Hey Madaz I've got a vage memory they only did toyota 4wd stuff :scratch: I've never bothered to ask them about anything else ??

Im pretty sure they do most stuff for vechicles that came out in aussie, but i have only been looking for toyota stuff.
As far as Suzuki king pin bearings, i used to replace a set every year and found Farrels bearings here in hamilton were the cheapest with the bearings being about $15 each for Timken brand, as for the wiper seals, hub seals ect it was cheaper to buy genuine parts off winger suzuki than anywhere else.

Hey Ryan, I ended up getting mine for my nissan diff from BNT this was the rebuild kit and wheel bearings and its going to cost just over $400. Rob at Naenae tyre court stocks the terrain tamer brand and there diff rebuild kits are really cheap. Talk to Rob :wink:
