This will be the third video of something you showed me how to do in great detail. It's great to have while doing this stuff. Thank you for posting them.
As a southern Arizona resident.. all that rust blows me away!! My 07 expedition is spotless underneath! You people back east have some crazy rust issues. My heart goes out to you......
think of your wheel like a clock. lift the car off the ground a bit, grab the wheel at 3 and 9 and wiggle it. if it moves side to side its tie rods. if you grab it 12 and 6 and it moves its ball joints. if you think its tie rods you can take off the wheel and shake 3 and 9 again and you can see the movement pretty easily.
