So, I wanted to buy the Armstrong PSB and have them pressed in but am I understanding there is no way to change the ball joint unless I had started with new control arms.
The Lexus manual shows you how. You remove the balljoint from its mating hole, attach the nut to it, turn it with a torque wrench a certain number of revolutions, then see what the reading is.
You can also shake the suspension to see play, but at that point you probably have very obvious signs of failure: such as vibrations.
do you happen to have a copy? so this requires basically removing the arm with the balljoint in question no?
if my ball joints are good, I guess I will do this: for the front uppers I shall use FIGS bushings, the lower ones I shall use PSB, I do not ike the design of the upper ones from PSB and anything else not covered by those 2, I shall use febest, including maybe the rears. BUT with the febest bushings I am going to reinforce them with 3M window weld or maybe Liquid Nails polyurethane.. not decided yet.
