So now I have FJ60 axles under my 40. This front axle install was typical for me, put on a part, remove, put back in, remove, adjust, install, question if it’s right, remove, and then install.

So now I have the axle installed, and I out boarded the spring hangers, still spring under with the 4X4 high steer and 6 shooter knuckles. And while I was under there, I installed a 6 x 1 1/5 ram assist, and new shocks. Aligned the knuckles and did a little grinding on the calipers to get the wheels on without spacers

I took it for a test drive on the road, and I couldn’t believe how well it behaved. As I have to let the air out of the TSL’s down to 3 PSI to get into/out of the garage, that’s how I drove it. NO death wobble with cold tires and the 3 PSI… Only thing now is getting the air out of the power steering fluid.

Did you prime the cylinder before you started??? Makes it go very quick, especially if you turn lock to lock with the motor off for a spell.

I drew fluid into the cylinder from both side before I connected the hoses. It's was better after the run around the block, and I'll give it a good run Wednesday. Had to buy more steering fluid.
