Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ive got a real loose ball joint on some arm (don't what this arm is called so i will post pics) which is giving me alot of steering play.
but i cant figure out how to remove it.

here is the pics of it.

pull the split pin out of the slot in the end and use a big flat blade screw driver to turn the center out then wiggle it around and it will pop out

or just take the split pin out and use a flat blade screw driver and give it a turn or two untill you think it is tight and replace the split pin


Problem solved

what he said

thanks..

i already did try this but my screw driver must have been big enuf, cus nothing turned, or maybe im just weak.

i will get some WD40 on it i thinks..

and what was this thing called?

drag link

drag link, that sounds fast

i tried it again.. i took out the split pin and tried to turn the end using the grove the split pin was in and nothing.. didnt even budge a little both ways?

yeah i had the same problem before i went cross over.

try getting some vice grips onto the screw drive. that might help

just check and make sure its not the other end that maybe lose cause both ends can be loose

very stupid toyota steering system they should all come out x-over to start with

maybe the ball on the j-arm or pitman arm is buggered. I know my j-arm had a worn ball. Got 2nd hand one from wreckers and all was good

Put a cresent on the flats of the screwdriver and work it to & fro.
Those balls can come loose in the J arm and stg box drop arm as well.
