Has anyone replaced lower ball joints on a 2017 taco. Mine are leaking and occasionally hearing noises when I turn the steering wheel. Would u recommend to change the whole arm or just the ball joint?

 

The joint is not part of the lower control arm. Its on its own part that bolts to the arm. SO if the arm is fine, there is no reason to replace it.

That's a 2WD. All modern Tacomas have ball joints in the lower arm. Technically they are not serviceable. But you can press them out.

 

I thought this was a thread about Lyndon Johnson

 

@FL_TRD Sport, you must be pretty old to know about Lyndon Johnson. I am...

Yup I admit it, I'm an old fart

 

Showed up for the Lyndon B Johnson... stayed for the ball joint talk

 

Me, too. Thought we were in for a fun history post. Thread's done, so I guess I'm off to Tara Ross page to get my history fix.

 

Derp, nevermind, toyota made it weird by having the ball joint bolt to a thick metal part that then bolts to the spindle. For what ever reason I thought the balljoint was on that metal part.

 

I thought LeBron James?

 

That's allowed if you weren't around in the 1960s

 

Born in 85. Was also looking to hear about our 36th president.

 

Any time I see the letters B and J together I usually click in.
The L threw me tho.
