A balljoint is another name for a ball-and-socket joint - a joint within a skeleton in which one segment has a rounded end and the next segment has a bowl-shaped end, with the round-shaped end fitting into the bowl shape.

How do you change a 2001 Toyota Echo balljoint?

I just replaced the left front balljoint on a 2000 echo. The balljoint had to be purchased attached to a frame assemble. Dealer part $300. Bargin Parts place $90.00 . Jack up the front of the car, support with jack stands, remove wheel . Remove two large bolts (one vertical, and one horizontal ) that hold the frame assemble to the frame. Remove small nut in the middle of the frame assemble that is attached the the stabilizer bar (or sway bar ). Remove the nut from the balljoint .Tap or pry the balljoint down out of the back of the brake assemble. With the balljoint now hanging down use a small pry bar to remove the entire frame assemble. When installing the new part finger tighten the VERTICAL Bolt first , then the HORIZONTAL Bolt then the stabilizer and last the Balljoint nut. Then go back and tighten everything up. DoNot forget the cotter pin in the Balljoint nut. Be careful not to bump the axle as it can fall out of the tranny, be careful not to damage the boots .
