    I think I will. Thanks for the photo and info. I was even reading now about how you can use the 96-02 4runner links for a lifted front suspension. They are about 3 inches longer.

    This is the whole hub assembly right? So I wouldn’t need to press out the old ones?

    I got mine at Autozone, the Duralast branded box. I am pretty sure they were Timkens inside, though. Autozone Part Numbers are SET3 and SET5.

    No need for a press. The bearings do not require that much force to remove and reinstall. To remove temporarily re-tighten the spindle nut and yank the rotor and hub assembly towards you. I have used both a rubber mallet and a hammer with a wooden block for reinstall, but really your thumbs and a lot of grease should do the trick.

    The ring is pressed into the hub itself. The bearing comes out but not the ring

    Okay, yeah I just left the old races, too. I bet mine would be a bitch to press out.
