How to service and repair the lower ball joint on 2000 Toyota 4Runner?

Service and repair of the lower ball joint starts with removing the front wheel while tightly setting torque to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf.cm, 83 ft. lbs.). The procedure begins with loosening the 4 bolts on the tie rod end to 80 Nm (820 kgf.cm, 59 ft. lbs.) while keeping them installed before removing the cotter pin and nut at 91 Nm (912 kgf.cm, 66 ft. lbs.).

The procedure for disconnecting the lower ball joint requires removal of the cotter pin followed by nutting it loose to 142 Nm (1,450 kgf.cm, 105 ft. lbs.) and then usage of Special Service Tool: 09628-62011 to uninstall the joint from the lower suspension arm while maintaining forward-facing orientation of the cotter pin hole. Disconnect the lower ball joint by lifting the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle then place them in a secure position. Test the ball joint rotation by moving the ball joint stud 5 times in each direction then apply torque using a wrench which should reach 0.1 to 2.5 Nm between 11 - 25 kgf.cm or 0.8 to 21.7 inch lbs during the 5th turn. After installation, check the front wheel alignment while conducting installation in the opposite direction of removal.
