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! -------------------- |

 It sounds like a difficult job but there's really not much to it.
