SFA Front inner axle seal group buy

Post by niclemaitre »

Hi there

I want to get new inner axle seals for my (import) front axle on my 87 SFA. Apparently these are the best ones to get, way better than the OEM Parts. https://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/fron ... -axle-seal

The seals are cheap (9 USD), but the shipping is horrendous at 123USD. Would anyone else be interested in a group buy to spread the shipping cost around?
Happy trails

I would be interested for sure. Count me in if we can get a few more buyers.

. Try umhlanga toyota spares , Apparently they are the distributers of parts to other dealers ( what I have heard via the grapevine ) .
I however got mine from Halfway toyota in howick kzn. I paid R100 each for my inner seals from the dealers. My outer seals were R250 each .The guy at Howick spares sent me a diagram for me to pick my parts from . His name is Rakesh . I havent the number , I left my phone at home ..
Although not all his parts are cheap , His quote on transfer case flange was R2000.

Hi Malcom

I'm not struggling to find the spares, I can get the OEM parts from Toyota without an issue, but these seals are apparently considerably better than OEM and last longer, which is why I want them

Yes, it's the inner most seal on the axle. If you strip the knuckle and axle, it's the first seal that goes back, It's the one that stops the diff oil from getting into the knuckle
