New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASBJ00310
This video shows you how to install a front lower ball joint on your 2004-2006 Scion xB. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 Scion xB
2005 Scion xB
2006 Scion xB
