Thanks. It's the lower ball joint. I have no repair skill level. On the other hand, if you want to sue someone, I'm your guy :-).

Thank you both!

Hi All, This is my first foray into this club. What a great place! We just bought a 1999 GS300 (61k miles). My local Firestone (who I have brought my cars to for 7 years) says there is play in the ball joints but that he won't replace the ball joints unless I also replace the control arms. He says he has had bad results in the past with doing so and will not do so in the future. So, I am just checking to see if any of you have any opinion on replacing ball joints without replacing the control arms. Thank you in advance for your responses. Guy C.
