Toyota Corolla Ball Joint Replacement - How To

What is this, Homebrew Toyota? Well... My neighbour was mentioning replacing the front suspension on his work vehicle. I told him now is the time while I am not working a day-to-day job. I got all the parts ordered up and brought the car in.
Initially I was going to make the repairs into two videos. Time was constrained due to this being a taxi, so I only have one video of how to replace the ball joints. Toyota designed these to bolt onto the control arm and no pressing or special tools are required. These ball joints are also very durable and long lasting from the factory. Changing them on this high mileage car was preventative maintenance more than anything.
Thanks for watching! Now I have the garage freed up and I am ready to pull the Forester in for another overhaul. So don't fret, more Subaru content is coming up. STAY TUNED!

Excellent how to when dealing with rusted and seized split (cotter) pins. I spend far too long trying to remove rusted and rotten split pins the proper way when a more 'brutal' approach is needed.

[@HomebrewSubaru]

As long enough of the pin gets cut out, the nut will usually spin off the rest. Usually.

this ball joint already have grease on them or you have to add grease ?

[@HomebrewSubaru]

They will need to be greased after installing.

Great vid. But what was the ladt 😊step? Grease? And how tight? I dont have a torque either

[@HomebrewSubaru]

Yes that is some grease. I don't have the torque specs, just make sure they're tight!
