Lower Ball Joints: Broken Seal

The truck: 2011 DCSB PreRunner with newly installed OME lift with 885 coils.

The problem: I noticed that my lower ball joints were leaking, so I posted a pic up in the Alabama thread. @dcoursler said that the seal had been broken on them and they needed to be replaced.

The plan: I am going to purchase Moog BJs from Rock Auto and get a press loaned from auto zone to swap them out.

I would like any advise, tips, or methods to help make this process go as smooth as possible. I have read a lot of post on here saying that this is a royal PITA. Thank you in advance!

 

Hey, not sure if you already did the work. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I will attempt to do the work myself as well. Here is a link to a thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-lca-ball-joint-replacement-2005-tacoma.176251/

 

what ended up happening with his. Mine slightly leaks sometimes but don't think it's much, nor a bad thing. Same lift as you. Was 3" too much?
