Different types of hubs / axle

[simon 45]

I have 2 x front disk-braked axles with different types of hubs. I want to rebuild one of them for my 45 but don't know which one.

One is AISIN and one is AVM.

Does anyone know if one type is preferable?

I would go for the AISIN hubs as They are very easy to
A. get parts for
B. to rebuild

A lot of front axle bits cross to the MK3 Hilux

Hi,
AVM are after market and i'm reasonably sure for the year of your truck the AISIN was OEM.

AISIN - no contest IMO

Gents, thanks for feedback especially the links to the Hilux forum.

Agreed, AISIN it is. I'd not heard of AVM previously so my gut feeling was AISIN, thanks for confirmation.

cheers
