1998 Y61 TD42 - Replacement Front Left Hub and Knuckle Spindle

[Ross]

Hi All,

Long time no post!

I ran into a front wheel bearing issue with my Troll, and in the process of stripping everything to do the replacement, my mechanic has discovered damage to the wheel hub (bearing carrier) as well as the knuckle spindle, on the passenger side, meaning these parts will need to be replaced (see diagram below).

I havn't tried the Stealers yet, but can imagine that (if available) the price is likely to be eyewatering. I found an advert on FB for some guys who specialize in second-hand Patrol Parts in the Warmbaths area, and am currently waiting for a response. Does anyone have any other leads I can try?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Ross, yes that would be David Volschenk (083 499 1588), also member on forum (not so active): memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=3024
Other option would be www.partsouq.com

Many thanks SJC

The www.partsouq.com website looks very useful, in the event that David doesn't have anything in stock.

Cheers,

Perhaps also give Tinus a call. At ons stage he had several front axles with bent tubes, perhaps one is irreperable and can be stripped for spares.

There is one (bent) at Mr Forgey as we speak, which happens to belong to Mr Turbonator.
Call Anthony at: oh, seven, nine, 499, seven, six, 92

Hi All,

Thanks again to everyone who posted suggestions / leads on this thread.

Just to close things out, I ended up getting the required parts from David Volschenk in Bella Bella, and the Patrol is back up and running!!

A big shout out to David (zero eight three four nine nine one five eight eight) for the excellent service and fair pricing.
