The FJ has recently gotten real squirrelly. Found the DR side moog ball joint with only 30k on it to be worn out already.
I put both moog lowers in at that time and already did the passenger side one a few months ago.
The wheel bearing hub assembly also had some play in it.
This time I got a trw ball joint and a Japanese made hub with a koyo bearing from eBay..... Hoping it's legit. Time will tell.
The dealer wanted $500 for a hub. eBay was $150.
My press that I have used on this car couldn't press the moog joint out of the arm. It was stuck! I had to physically beat it out with a sledge hammer.
It's still laying in my driveway.
The press did press the new ball joint in with no trouble.
I did break a small metal brake line. I was at the dealer when they opened this morning but they can't get one till Thursday.
Napa has a universal one you bend to fit so I put that on.
That's a lot of work for an old man working in the dirt. I feel it today.
