    I was just going to replace the lower ball joint but it comes as an assembly with the lower control arm.. fun. Its actually a lot cheaper repair (~ $20) when its just the boot that has a tiny hole in it. I'm sure I could figure it out, but there's a valuable community here!

    Agreed, I had a tiny hole in the one on my 4Runner and it was like that for 10years.

    While that is a viable option, I'm very comfortable tearing things apart. I installed a 3/1 Ironman lift in my driveway with a little help from my brother, and that's where this happened. I believe while removing the lower knuckle with the aid of a pry bar he pinched the boot right there creating more of a slit than a hole. I noticed a little grease popping out while putting things back together. (he got an ear full)
    That was a few months ago and I'd rather just change it out and have the piece of mind.

    I was planning on doing a little video of it since there aren't many 3rd gen repairs to be found on YT.
