To check the balljoints, jack up the veh, grab tire and shake. You will feel them wobble around if they are bad.


Toyota tells there can be 2.3 mm freeplay (up&down) and they are in their tolerance. Very difficult to measure, I think.

I noticed I can feel now wobble in the lower balljoints after I installed the BJ spacers (vehicle raised up from chassis). Just before there is no wobble at all. Then I tried same again after I put ¢" piece between the upper A-arm and bump stop (like this: http://www.sdori.com/UCAspace.jpg ). No wobble any more.

Frank, have you noticed that or are my lower balljoints worn?
