7:21 Things NOT to Do with Ball Joints
Should I replace ball joints on 2010 Toyota Corolla of 15 years old but only with 110000 in mileage as preventative measure since it seems a serious safety issue?
Did you mean replace upper + lower at the same time or replace left + right at the same time?
@TheCarCareNut at 10:22 you said that you should replace all the ball joints as a pair does this mean that you should replace both upper and lower ball joints for a given side or does this mean that you should replace both left and right upper and lower ball joints if you were just noticing play in a lower ball joint for example? I’m working on a 2009 Toyota hybrid highlander with 200,000 miles.
So if someone overlands in an older toyota truck, they should be checking the ball joints after ecery run?
I know this is a year old, but I just found out the bushings on both my lower control arms and ball joints are all damaged. I bought my FJ Cruiser in 2006, and it’s a daily driver. So yah, I’m replacing the LCA’s that has a ball joint. Going OEM, parts alone are $1k! Eventhough the bushings are all cracked and damaged, there is no noise…
