  Q: How to remove the front lower ball joint on Scion xB?

  A: The procedure to remove a front lower ball joint begins with taking off the wheel along with the front axle hub nut. The first step includes cutting off the front speed sensor followed by the tie rod end sub-assembly and front disc brake caliper assembly.
