Replacing axle shafts, front, EA81, what else should I do ?


Recommended Posts

1984 4WD GL,

 

I need to replace the axle shafts, front. 

 

200,000 miles, seems like a good idea to replace the front wheel bearings and seals while I am at it. 

 

What else should I do on this job?

Tie rod ends and inspect/replace rack ends too.

 

Then a wheel alignment.

 

Or just do the shaft and ball joints, do an alignment and leave it be.

 

I would replace bearings unless they looked like the grease was dry or they're making noises when driving.

 

Cheers

 

Bennie
