Question 1

How to service and repair the steering knuckle on Toyota Land Cruiser?

Accepted Answer

The front axle hub removal process starts with steering knuckle service and repair tasks which require disconnection of the oil seal together with the gasket and dust cover through the removal of four bolts. You must disconnect the ABS speed sensor together with the wire harness by unfastening 3 bolts. Service the tie rod end from the steering knuckle arm by first removing its nut and cotter pin before using special service tool: 09628-62011. Follow the same steps to disconnect the lower suspension arm from the steering knuckle by using special service tool: 09628-62011 while removing the cotter pin and nut. After removing the cotter pin and nut from the steering knuckle you must install the bottom suspension arm nut while using special service tool: 09628-62011 before detaching it from the upper suspension arm to allow subsequent removal of steering knuckle from the lower suspension arm. To disassemble the steering knuckle arm required two bolt removal and then you should use a screwdriver and hammer to remove the oil seal followed by the bearing and bushing installation with a brass instrument assisted by a hammer. Assembly requires the installation of new bearing and bushing using tools 09950-60010 (09951-00540) and 09950-70010 with 09951-07100 press while using synthetic oil and lithium soap base chassis grease NLGI No. 1 on the bushing inner surface. A new oil seal installation requires special service tools: 09950-60020 (09951-00910), 09950-70010 (09951-07100) and a press which should be applied MP grease to the lip surface. The bolt threads and steering knuckle require cleaning with toluene or trichloroethylene before you apply part no. 08833-00070 three bond 1324 or equivalent sealant to the bolts. Then install the steering knuckle arm with the 2 bolts using proper torque of 147 Nm (1,500 kgf-cm, 108 ft. lbs.). The installation process includes applying synthetic oil and lithium soap base chassis grease of NLGI No. 1 to the drive shaft. A jack must support the lower suspension arm before attaching the steering knuckle while being careful to avoid oil seal damage. Place the temporary nut on the lower suspension arm then elevate it with a jack. After that, install the steering knuckle onto the upper suspension arm with an appropriate nut which should be torqued to 110 Nm (1,125 kgf-cm, 81 ft. lbs.). Finish the installation with a new cotter pin while slightly over-tightening the nut to a 60 degrees angle when necessary. Use 159 Nm torque to fasten the lower suspension arm nut and secure it with a new cotter pin. Fasten the tie rod end to the steering knuckle through a nut which needs to be tightened with 122 Nm torque force and followed by installing a new cotter pin and additional tightening of the nut up to 60 degrees if required. The installation process ends with mounting the front axle hub after securing the new gasket while torqueing 18 Nm (185 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.) and the oil seal with its 4 bolts that require 18 Nm (185 kgf-cm, 13 ft. lbs.), then attaching the dust cover.

Question 2

How to remove the steering knuckle on the LH side on Toyota Land Cruiser?

Accepted Answer

Removing the steering knuckle from the LH side begins with removing the stabilizer control valve protector and opening the stabilizer control through the accumulator housing shutter valve operation. The negative battery terminal cable needs to be disconnected from the front speed sensor LH after following steps to remove the bolt securing both the skid control sensor clamp and sensor wire. Then you can use a 5 mm hexagon socket to unlink the bolt and speed sensor from the knuckle without spinning them in place. Move to the front axle hub sub-assembly LH and disconnect the tie rod end sub-assembly LH through nut and cotter pin removal followed by using Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 to prevent damaging front disc brake dust cover and steering knuckle and ball joint dust cover. To proceed with the work you must first disconnect the front lower ball joint attachment LH before supporting the front suspension lower arm LH with a jack while removing the clip and nut. Finally, use Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to disconnect the upper ball joint from the steering knuckle while also avoiding damage to the ball joint dust cover. To complete the process remove the steering knuckle then use a screwdriver combined with a hammer to remove the steering knuckle oil seal LH.
