    Searching online with zero luck. These things have got to be hiding somewhere.

    Salvage yards, or part outs... You don't want to buy them new. If you find them new, you're looking at $750-$1000 for the set.


    I've got a set of Prerunner spindles sitting in my garage. lol

    Man, I wish they were 4WD. Thanks for the suggestion too. I'll look around for a pick and pull.

    Are you looking to replace spindles you slready have? You can press the hubs/bearings out of prerunner spindles and press new (4wd) bearings and your hubs in.

    There is no difference between prerunner and 4wd spindles... only difference is the hub and bearing. (in case you find prerunner spindles)

    Also, 3rd gen 4 runner spindles are the same as 1st Gen Tacoma.

    Looks love you have the JBA Offroad insert for their UCA's in the upper ball joint holes too. ?

    If you want to get rid of them I'll buy them, pay shipping and extra for your time.

    I've never messed with JBA on 1st gen, I couldn't give a definitive answer. I doubt it though.

    There also is a difference if you have abs or non abs. ABS sensors go through the spindle and there's a hole for it the non-abs is plugged.

    Yeah, I have the sensors. Gonna have to easy-out the retainer bolt on the driver's side. It was so rusted, the head torqued right off.

    The steering knuckle is one of the few undercarriage parts that didn't come with the frame replacement.
