Toyota 43330-19115 Front Left Lower Suspension Ball Joint Assembly

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheel. Next, remove the cotter pin from the balljoint stud and loosen the nut without removing it completely. Use a picklefork-type balljoint separator to separate the balljoint from the steering knuckle, then remove the balljoint stud nut, carefully alternating between backing off the nut and pulling down the stud due to the tight clearance with the CV joint. After that, remove the bolt and nuts securing the balljoint to the control arm, and use a prybar to separate the balljoint from the control arm. For installation, insert the balljoint stud through the hole in the steering knuckle and install the nut without tightening it yet; thread the nut onto the stud as soon as it protrudes through the hole, then turn the nut to draw the stud up. Attach the balljoint to the control arm, install the bolt and nuts, and tighten them to the specified torque. Finally, tighten the balljoint stud nut to the specified torque and install a new cotter pin, ensuring the cotter pin hole aligns with the slots on the nut; if not, tighten the nut further without loosening it. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.
