Been hearing and feeling this nasty nasty noise when I go over bumps anywhere under about 40 mph, also just randomly taking slow corners, and etc.
Took the car to a shop when I had to get some other things fixed, and they informed me that the ball joint is what is causing the noise. And they also told me that it was going to be another but-load of money to fix that. So, anybody ever replaced ball joints on a Celica before? Any suggestions or advice would be incredibly appreciated! |

ball joint fork works great too, but honestly a few well placed hits with a stout hammer usually does it.

Lol I've had the worst luck with just wacking ball joints with hammers. Up here in the rusty north, wacking ball joints usually results in **** flying off and injuring anyone in the vicinity.
