Knuckle Stub Axle Spindle – Toyota LandCruiser (Brass Spindle Bush + Bearing)
Replace worn, seized or damaged front stub axles (knuckle spindles) on your Toyota LandCruiser solid front axle models with this heavy-duty stub axle spindle from Machter Auto Parts. Comes complete with pre-installed high-quality brass spindle bush and bearing – perfect for 70 Series (HZJ70/HZJ73/HZJ75/HZJ78/HZJ79/VDJ78/VDJ79), 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81), 100 Series (HDJ100/HZJ105) or 105 Series rebuilds where the original spindle has play, scoring, corrosion or failed bushings after years of off-road abuse, heavy steering loads, mud, salt or water crossings in Australia.
Key Features
- Complete stub axle spindle assembly – includes high-strength forged spindle, pre-pressed brass bush and bearing
- Direct fit for most solid front axle Toyota LandCruiser models (70/80/100/105 Series)
- High-grade forged steel spindle – heat-treated for superior strength and wear resistance
- Precision-machined brass spindle bush – self-lubricating, long-lasting, reduces steering effort and wear
- Heavy-duty tapered roller bearing – pre-packed with high-temp grease for smooth rotation and load handling
- Corrosion-resistant coating – withstands salt spray, mud and wet conditions
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket CV joints, birfields, hubs, knuckles and steering arms
Benefits
- Eliminates steering play & binding – restores tight, precise steering feel
- Stops grinding, clunking or notchy steering – smoother operation on and off-road
- Prevents further damage to CVs/birfields/hubs – fixes worn bushings before they destroy expensive components
- Longer service life than worn factory spindles – brass bush & bearing combo lasts longer under load
- Essential for rebuilds or high-mileage rigs – keeps your solid-axle Cruiser tracking straight and safe
- Great for off-road builds, work trucks or resto projects – brings steering back to new
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for solid front axle Toyota LandCruiser models (70 Series HZJ/VDJ, 80 Series FZJ/HDJ/HZJ, 100 Series HDJ/HZJ, 105 Series HZJ)
- Professional installation recommended – press bearing/bush if not pre-installed, grease CV splines, torque hub nuts to spec, and check steering alignment
- Replace both sides together for balanced steering – inspect bearings/CVs, knuckles, seals and hub bearings while the spindle is off
- Confirm your axle type (birfield vs non-birfield) – kit suits most 70/80/100/105 solid axle setups

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this front steering knuckle spindle compatible with my classic LandCruiser?
Yes, this spindle is precision-machined to fit a wide range of iconic solid-axle LandCruiser models, including the 40, 60, and 70 Series (FJ60, FJ62, FJ70, FJ75, HJ45, HJ47, HJ60, HJ61, HJ75). It is designed to match the original factory specifications for a perfect fit during your drivetrain rebuild.
When should I replace the steering knuckle spindle?
You should inspect or replace the spindle if you notice signs of pitting, scoring, or heavy wear on the bearing surfaces. If the spindle threads for the hub nuts are damaged, or if it shows signs of stress cracks or bending from heavy-duty off-road use, it is critical to replace it to ensure your wheel bearings remain properly supported and safe.
What else should I replace while the front end is apart?
Since replacing the spindle requires removing the hub assembly, we strongly recommend installing new wheel bearings, a fresh knuckle seal kit, and new hub/lock nut washers. It is the perfect opportunity to ensure your front end is completely refreshed and protected for thousands of miles to come.
Is this a difficult job to complete?
This is a significant mechanical job that involves disassembly of the front axle, hub, and brake components. If you have experience performing LandCruiser front-end rebuilds and have access to the correct tools (including a hub socket), it is manageable. If you are not familiar with steering and axle assemblies, we recommend having a professional mechanic perform the work to ensure vehicle safety.
Does the spindle come with mounting studs or hardware?
This listing is for the spindle itself. While it is built to OEM standards, we recommend using high-quality replacement mounting studs and gaskets to ensure everything is torqued down securely to the knuckle housing.
