How to replace a Ball Joint on a Toyota Prius?

Nut on the wheel lugs need to be loosened and the car needs to lifted off the ground and supported by brackets before having the wheel removed. Thirdly, take out the cotter pin from the balljoint stud and slacken the nut but do not undo it fully; do the same with the lower balljoint. Insert a picklefork-type ball joint separator between the balljont and the steering knuckle, and either screw the nut back off or push down on the stud until it snaps free. First, unbolt the ball joint from the control arm-there are three bolts/nuts-and then shove a pry bar in the middle of the ball joint and pull it out of the control arm. For installation, force the balljoint stud through the hole in the steering knuckle and set in place the nut without tightening it; turn the nut as soon as it emerges at the other end and afterward tighten the nut to draw the stud up. Place the balljoint to the control arm, screw in the bolt and nuts and tighten them to the desired level. Lastly, torque the balljoin stud nut to the needed specifications and replace the cotter pin; the hole in the cotter pin should be positioned over the slots provided in the nut; if it is not the case, turning the nut should compensate this. Again, fix the wheel and lug nuts in place, raise the car and then finally tighten the lug nuts.

Toyota Prius Ball Joint

The Toyota Prius Ball Joint facilitates movement in the front suspension when steering and over bumps. Shaped like a ball and socket, the piece connects the control arm to the steering knuckle so the wheels can move vertically with the road contours and horizontally with steering input. A hardened ball stud slips and swivels within a cavity filled with grease, sealed with a rubber boot to keep bad dirt from entering in and to keep the grease in. This design allows the spindle to remain centered yet still flexible for stable handling and tire contact. Depending upon installation location, the Toyota Prius Ball Joint is generally classified as upper Ball Joint and lower Ball Joint. Industry jargon also differentiates between load-bearing Ball Joints that carry the weight of the vehicle and driven Ball Joints that merely guide movement and carry no weight. The need for replacement will be signaled by noise, irregular wear on the tire, misalignment and steering pull due to wear. The consistent Toyota ride quality and Prius steering predictability you want on a daily basis relies a lot on reliable Ball Joint operation.
