Swivel Hub Seals & Bearings Set – Toyota LandCruiser 70 80 100 Series

Stop leaking grease, water ingress, hub grinding, or steering stiffness on your Toyota LandCruiser 70, 80, or 100 Series (solid front axle models) with this complete swivel hub rebuild kit. Includes high-quality inner/outer bearings, seals, gaskets, and O-rings – direct replacement for worn factory components. Perfect for work utes, troop carriers, wagons, or 4x4s that see mud, river crossings, dust, or heavy off-road use in Aussie conditions.

Key Features

  • Full swivel hub service kit (left + right side components) – covers both front hubs
  • Direct fit for solid front axle LandCruiser models: 70 Series (HZJ70/HZJ73/HZJ75/HZJ78/HZJ79/VDJ78/VDJ79), 80 Series (FZJ80/HDJ80/HZJ80/HDJ81), 100 Series (HDJ100/HZJ105)
  • Premium bearings: Timken-style or equivalent tapered roller bearings – heavy-duty and precise
  • High-quality oil seals/gaskets: Double-lip seals resist water & grease contamination
  • Includes all necessary O-rings, shims, lock washers, and hub gaskets – no extra parts needed
  • Compatible with factory or aftermarket swivel hubs, birfields, and CV joints

Benefits

  • Eliminates grease leaks & water entry – keeps hubs dry and bearings protected from rust/corrosion
  • Stops grinding, clicking, or binding in the swivel hubs – smoother steering and less wear on CVs/birfields
  • Restores tight, precise steering feel – crucial for off-road control and highway stability
  • Prevents expensive hub damage – extends life of expensive swivel components and axles
  • Essential for roadworthy & safety – leaking hubs can fail inspection or cause failure in NSW
  • Great for routine maintenance, lift/tyre upgrades, or high-mileage rebuilds – keeps your Cruiser turning freely

Fitment Notes

  • Suitable for solid front axle models: 70 Series (1984–current), 80 Series (1990-1997), 100 Series (1998-2007) – confirm your swivel hub type (birfield vs non-birfield)
  • Professional installation recommended – grease with high-temp wheel bearing grease, torque hub nuts to spec, and check steering alignment
  • Replace both sides at once for balanced performance – inspect birfields/CVs, knuckles, and seals while hubs are off
  • Common upgrade when fitting larger tyres or after water crossings – prevents future contamination

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of a swivel hub rebuild kit? +

A swivel hub kit (also known as a knuckle overhaul kit) completely refreshes the seals and bearings at the front outer ends of a live-axle 4WD. Its layout serves two major functions: it keeps fresh gear oil inside the front differential housing and thick grease inside the CV joint knuckle housing, while keeping external contaminants like outback dust, deep mud, and saltwater out of your front driveline loop.

Which specific Toyota LandCruiser series is this rebuild set suitable for? +

This heavy-duty replacement kit is engineered to suit the large live solid front axle assemblies across a wide range of Toyota platforms. It is a direct fit for the 70 Series (including models like the HZJ75, HZJ79, VDJ76, VDJ78, and VDJ79 up to current variants), the 80 Series (HZJ80, HDJ80, FZJ80), and the solid live-axle 105 Series (HZJ105, FZJ105). It is not compatible with independent front suspension (IFS) 100 Series rigs.

What are the warning signs that my steering knuckles need a complete rebuild? +

The most obvious structural sign is dark, sloppy oil-grease sludge weeping heavily down the inside face of your front tyres or pooling on the inner knuckle globes—this occurs when the inner axle oil seal fails, allowing thin diff oil to flow outward and wash the CV grease away. Other critical signs include a loose steering feel, uneven front tyre wear, or a metallic clicking/growling noise when turning under off-road load.

What individual components are typically included in this front axle package? +

This comprehensive kit includes premium oil seals, heavy-duty kingpin (trunnion) bearings, and multi-piece rubber and felt wiper seal configurations to seal both the left and right steering knuckles simultaneously. It also features the critical inner axle shaft seals and matching hub lock gaskets required for a complete, professional front-end overhaul.

How difficult is a swivel hub rebuild, and are there any critical installation tips? +

This task is a comprehensive mechanical DIY project that requires patience and a good range of standard workshop tools, including a 54mm hub socket. Proper execution is absolutely critical for success: ensure the chrome knuckle balls are polished clean and completely free of rough rust pitting before fitting the new wipers. Most importantly, apply a light smear of grease to the inner axle seal lip during assembly to avoid tearing the fresh rubber when sliding the long splined axle shaft back into the differential housing.
