Hi I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a new Jimny front axle. Ideally a reconditioned or refurbished one??? Mines totally knackered and need one asap. Cheers

What's wrong with your axle then mate?

It's been a garage about 2 weeks due to the massive amount of play in front passenger side front wheel. Took it to garage (very good friend of mine) and hub, bearings, kingpin, swivel ball, basically the whole lot is knackered. He was hoping to rebuild but cost wise he said it would be cheaper to get a new axle. He's a very good mate and 4x4 specialist so I know he'll go best and cheapest route for me but haven't no luck finding axle at mo :(

Your axle sounds far from needing replacement and more just in need of servicing.

Wheel bearings press out and new ones in and quality ones are available in the BigJimny shop. Easy for a garage.

Kingpin bearings are even easier and are cheaper and also available from the Bigjimny shop. The swivels just need rubbing down and if you fancy it, painting. The seals are available from the same place.

He might be a mate but it sounds like he's more knowledgeable about Land Rovers than Suzukis as their swivels must be shiny smooth, ours don't.

You don't need a new axle! I could have it fixed within a few hours with the above parts and the use of a press.
