Here's a DIY on how to replace a lower ball joint on a Toyota, Scion or Lexus vehicle.

It can be done with hand tools but an impact wrench makes the job a lot easier. The only special tool needed is a ball joint separator. A pickle fork might not work.

The lower ball joint is held by the lower control arm and pressed into the steering knuckle. Once the brake caliper, bracket and rotor is removed, easy access can found underneath the control arm to remove two nuts and a bolt holding the ball joint. Pry down on the control arm to free the ball joint.

A castle nut with a cotter pin holds the ball joint into the steering knuckle. With the drive-shaft in the way, it can prove challenging to remove. In the end, the castle nut was ground off using a grinder, and separated using a ball joint separator from the knuckle.

Use anti-seize on all bolts and torque everything down snug. Grease the ball joint if necessary.

The right ball joint was replaced with a Moog Problem Solver ordered from RockAuto, with 269,000km on the vehicle.
