The swivel hubs on a 70 Series LandCruiser are what let the front wheels steer while still driving power through them, and on a mine site, that joint takes a beating. Constant water crossings, fine dust and corrugated haul roads work grease and seals loose fast, and once contamination gets into the knuckle, wear accelerates and steering feel and reliability go with it.
TAKEO’s Swivel Hub Kits are built to handle that environment, not just tolerate it. Every kit includes the seals, bearings and hardware needed for a complete rebuild, matched to OEM tolerances so steering and drive performance stay exactly as they should. Purpose-built for 70 Series LandCruisers running underground and on open-pit sites, where a failed swivel hub means a vehicle off the road, not just a minor repair.
Built for mining conditions, not the showroom
Standard swivel hub kits are designed around normal on-road use, where a 4WD might see mud a handful of times a year. TAKEO’s range is built for sites where water crossings, fine dust and corrugated haul roads are a daily occurrence, not an occasional detour.
Heavy-duty double lipped hub seal
A PREMIUM+ variation of the kit comes with a MultiGuard hub seal with an outer protective faceplate, multiple lips, strengthened sealing lips and a shaft protective sleeve. Engineered specifically to keep water, mud and other contaminants from penetrating the hub, the leading cause of premature failure reported by fitters on muddy sites.
Felt gaskets that actually perform
Standard felt gaskets are often rigid and hard, making fitment difficult and increasing the risk of tearing during install. TAKEO’s felt gaskets are more pliable, softer and thicker, giving a better seal and an easier fit.
Improved gaskets and shim variety
Kits include upgraded gaskets for better quality fitment and increased durability, along with a range of shim widths so fitters have the correct part on hand for the job rather than making do.
Commonly overlooked parts included as standard
Two O-rings are supplied in every kit; a part that’s frequently missing from other kits on the market, but essential to finishing the job properly the first time.
King pin stud components (RP-SHK80ABS)
Designed for underground operations where operator and asset safety is critical. Many kits on the market don’t include stud components, which leads some workshops to re-fit worn king pin studs rather than replace them, the only thing standing between a functioning wheel housing and one falling apart. TAKEO’s kit includes the OE components needed to replace king pin studs properly, so the job is done right the first time.

OE-SHK80 suits pre-2012 model 70 Series LandCruisers, while OE-SHK80ABS is built for post-2012 models. Confirming your build date or VIN with the fleet team ensures you get the correct kit.
Wheel bearings can be included by selecting the /WB variant of either base kit (OE-SHK80/WB or OE-SHK80ABS/WB). Standard kits don’t include bearings unless this variant is specified.
The hub seal in TAKEO kits is a heavy-duty, double lipped design with an outer protective faceplate and shaft protective sleeve, sourced specifically to withstand water and mud ingress on mining sites, rather than a standard seal built for occasional off-road use.
Many standard felt gaskets are rigid and prone to tearing on fitment, which compromises the seal. TAKEO’s felt gaskets are more pliable, softer and thicker, reducing tearing risk and improving seal quality.
Yes, two O-rings are included as standard. This is a part commonly left out of other kits, so you’re not left short mid-job.
