• Q: How to install the front lower ball joint assembly on 2010 Scion xB?

  A: Begin the front lower ball joint installation process by fixing the front axle assembly within a vise while avoiding excessive pressure. Follow this procedure by placing the front lower ball joint on the front axle assembly while applying 133 Nm (1356 kgf-cm, 98 ft-lbf) torque to the nut before adding a new cotter pin followed by a nut tightening process that extends to 60 degrees when the holes are misaligned. The first step is to connect the front lower No. 1 suspension arm sub-assembly after which you should install the tie rod end sub-assembly. After the front disc you must add the front disc brake caliper assembly and the front speed sensor before finishing with the installation of the front axle hub nut. Finish the process by fitting the front wheel and examine as well as adjust the front wheel alignment. The checks should include verifying the VSC sensor signal for correct operation.
