New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASB...
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2004-2009 Toyota Prius. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Toyota Prius
2005 Toyota Prius
2006 Toyota Prius
2007 Toyota Prius
2008 Toyota Prius
2009 Toyota Prius

I have problems with the minute 4:01 . I think the shield is causing noise with the axle. Is it possible to drive without the shield? I can't seem to put it back correctly.
