Hello,

My celica didn't pass the yearly test because of a worn ball joint cover and the light adjustment.

I'm wondering though how to replace the ball joint? Can't find a write up about it unfortunately so i don't know how much work is involved with it.
Is it also possible to just change the boot for an aftermarket one?

Thanks!
