Just wanting to post up a little bit of knowledge I have gained today while looking for a front axle for my ST165. All the aftermarket places will tell you they don't have one in stock and will have to order. They are trying to sell you Cardone part number 605031 or equivalent since this is what every catalog shows for a 88-93 AllTrac. However, if you have an ST165 or a non-abs ST185 you can use Cardone part number 605003 which is for a 1990 2.5l V6 Camry or Lexus ES250. The only difference is the 605031, which noone has in stock, has a tone ring for the abs pressed onto the axle. Since the ST165 has the abs tone ring on the hub, and non-abs ST185s won't even need it, this axle works just fine. Even in my dinky town a few stores had one in stock, or had one a short drive away at another store.
Hope this will help someone out who is in need!
