Toyota Solara Ball Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to service and repair the ball joint on Toyota Solara?
A: Repair and service of the ball joint begins with removing the front axle hub followed by using a screwdriver to remove the dust deflector before taking off the cotter pin and nut. The Special Service Tool 09628-62011 assists in lowering ball joint detachment. To inspect the ball joint rotation condition begin with 5 back-and-forth motions of the ball joint stud followed by continuous torque wrench use to turn the nut at a rate of 1 turn every 2 to 4 seconds taking the torque reading at turn 5 between 1.0 - 3.4 Nm (10 - 35 kgf-cm, 8.7 - 30 inch lbs.). The lower ball joint installation process starts with tightening the nut to 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft. lbs.) then inserting a new cotter pin while validating that the holes match up; otherwise, increase the nut torque to 60 degrees. To install the new dust deflector use Special Service Tools that include 09316-60011 (09316-00011, 09316-00041) 09608-32010 and a hammer while aligning the ABS speed sensor hole in the deflector with its matching position in the knuckle. Complete the installation by putting back the front axle hub.
