Ford Explorer Lower Ball Joint and Upper Control Arm Replacement Sport Trac Ranger Mazda 

Thank you, I have a 2002 4x4 and just ordered both up and lower control arms complete as I don't have all the tools to remove/replace just easier I figured. Also inner outer tie rod, stabilizers, complete hub and bearings, should be good for another 380,000 km as as far as I can tell it's all stock parts still. Only one lower ball joint is loose but I thought it's all going to go soon anyway. I find my sport trac the most useful vehicle I have ever owned and I've owned sports cars, muscle cars, trucks, vans, compacts, sedan, even a station wagon which actually looked ugly as heck but was fun to drive. Thanks again buddy.

Epic caliper catch.

Nice catch man! That was pretty slick.

Thanks so much for this video helps alot GOD BLESS YOU I😊

Good catch on that caliper coming down lol😄

Nice catch !! Second baseman / shortstop ...

Thanks man, this helped alot

Nice Catch!!!

Nice work Phillip you made it look very smooth. Thanks for this video!

Great video! I'm looking to have this done to my Sport Trac. Can you give me a ball park of what I might expect a shop to charge for this exact work? Thanks

Nice catch 😆😉

GREAT freaken Catch...lol

The cross bolt that holds the upper ball joint in the knuckle on mine was weird. The bolt head was 16 but the nut was 17mm?

I also suggest while you're down there to check your wheel bearings bad ball joints will make bearings wear quicker

Helll Phillip, I have a 2001 ford explorer sport ...my question is if I need to buy a the the lower and upper controls arms or if i just need to replace the ball joints ect.ect.Thank you

great video, I just have a question? I have a 2003 sport trac and I need to replace the upper control arm but mine look way different then the one your sport trac has... do I need to put a Camber kit too

Perfect

I suggest Emory cloth for ball joint housings before replacing and some high temp grease burrs and currosion suck lol

Great Video!

What is the torque specs for sway bar links and upper control arm

I may have missed it, what upper control arm did you use? I'm looking at different options and see MOOG and Mevotech but some bad reviews suggesting they don't last for more than 12k miles has me worried.

Great video! Thank you !

How much would you expect to pay at an auto shop for this for just labor ?

Very good work

Are you sure the camber kit was installed correctly? The washers should go between the cams. Inboard

Great video

I can’t get the lower ball joint off the knuckle. I see you just hitting it until it breaks off. Is that the key ? I was hitting it under the bolt with the nut and nothing . I even used the fork but busted the the rubber from the ball joint. Advise thanks

How much would a job like this cost me at a shop, need to replace all that in my 2003 sport trac, i just wanna make sure i dint get ripped off! Thank you. Just subscribed to your channel! Great video idk how you do it to get such great clear camera work!

Do you leave the grease fitting on top after filling them with the grease gun ?

Good job. But before I start, I spay EVERYTHING with PB blast or WD40

This is a 3rd Gen Explorer.
