Lower ball Joints!!!

[Ckanderson]

buy them from a vendor: http://www.a2motorsports.net/lower-ball-joint.html

:love:

thanks! and from what I have been able to tell, all aftermarket lower balljoints posted are the same. they are a high quality design with a zerk fitting. Properly lubricated they should never wear out .

Did your car clonk when you turn all the way one direction???
Hows it feel now???
I have always had this problem and i cant stand it...

Steering stops are the problem for the clonk/clank sound.

Hope you didn't buy ball joints to try to solve that simple problem. All you need is new plastic caps from the dealer for 3 dollars or a dab of moly grease....

Like CK said, it's a little bolt with a round head on it. It is supposed to have a small plastic cap that covers the head of the bolt. If the plastic breaks off and you turn full lock, the bolt head hits a metal plate that the plastic would have hit and you get a nice crunch/clonk/snap sound. I had my car of jack stands the other day and put some moly grease of the bolt head. No more noises for me.

Of course, I will be buying the actual plastic piece from Toyota promptly, given that it is all of 3 dollars.
