How to service and repair the lower ball joint on 2000 Toyota Tacoma?

Start lower ball joint service and repair by first removing the front wheel according to a specific torque level of 110 Nm. The first step involves loosening the tie rod end bolts to 80 Nm while keeping them in place before removing the nut and cotter pin along with tightening the nut to 90 Nm. To combat misalignment between cotter pin holes during installation, further increase nut torque to 60. The special service tool 09610-20012 enables you to detach the tie rod end from the steering knuckle. When replacing the lower ball joint one must remove its retaining nut and cotter pin utilizing 140 Nm (1,450 kgf-cm, 103 ft. lbs.) of torque while tightening the nut up to 60° when the holes are misaligned during reinstallation. The lower ball joint disconnecting procedure requires Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to separate the lower ball joint from the lower suspension arm with the cotter pin hole facing forward when reinstalling. The 4 bolts should get removed until you can lift the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle to extract the lower ball joint. Afterwards establish stable support for the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle. Before installing the nut check lower ball joint rotation by rotating the ball joint stud five times mutually in both directions and perform the torque wrench operation starting from one continuous turn every 2 to 4 seconds while inspecting the torque reading on the fifth turn to achieve a turning torque at 0.1 to 2.5 Nm (11-25 kgf-cm, 1-22 inch lbs.). After installation you should examine the front wheel alignment. The sequence for installation runs in the opposite direction of removal.
