The 1/2 will be fine I just had to get a ton of leverage on of my breaker bar is like 2 feet log and I had to put a piece of 2" tubing on it to get more leverage

If your wheel is moving up and down that's probably ball joints. Side to side could be a loose axle nut (54mm) or tierod end. Your cv should have some play I believe. Do you have Locking hubs or auto?

Here's what I would say. Go get some parts and just replace it all of u just got it and yr making it nice to drive around all the time might as well get quality parts and just do them then u have receipts and know what's done and you'll learn how all those parts work that's what I did because I don't plan on getting rid of mine and not to mention I have a stock 2nd gen runner to that will need work someday

Do you know how to take your hub apart?

Drahog

thats pretty much what im doing. i may sell it and look for a not so abused one thats about it. the frame is not rusted out but it has some really bad body damage where the windshield meets the driver side door. I was thinking about finding someone to just replace it with rebar or something.

Drahog

Yes i took them apart enough to repack grease and replace a bent gear.

When you take the hub apart there is 12mm bolt to take off just past that is a 54mm nut. It should be held on by a locking washer that'll have tabs that you can bend. If that nut is loose it can cause your side to side movement of the wheel.

You want the 54 mm nut tight as long as you can spin the wheel freely.
