So my bad driving made the LCA-A/wish bone make love with a curb and now needs replacing, i got the part and pulled the two bolts out and removed the sway bar. But now i got the ball joint and the nut is in the dumbest place i have ever seen, better yet its locked on tight with the 22 open end not being able to move it and the closed end not thin enough to fit onto it, any ideas on how to get the nut off before i buy a dremil and cut the whole nut off.

Ahh, I incorrectly assumed front. I can't see a nut on that ball joint but it's obviously a crap place to get a pic.  Taking the drive shaft out of the hub is only 1 nut away...

Have you been able to separate the joint from the hub yet? Easier to do that with the nut still on, regardless of method you are using (ball joint separator vs bash the crap out of it because you aren't re-using it). Once it's separated undo (or cut off) the nut

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
