New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ic/1ASB...
This video shows you how to install a lower ball joint on your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2002 Ford Explorer
2003 Ford Explorer
2004 Ford Explorer
2005 Ford Explorer

IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE. Don't let the length of this video fool you. Just replaced the upper and lower ball joints (both sides) on a 2004 Mountaineer and it took me two days with the help of an older "Ford" loving family member. I'm not a mechanic but I can follow instructions very well. And even with all the shop tools at hand, had to use a blow torch to get all the old ball joints out. Then the post on one of the lower b.j. seemed to have gotten seized inside knuckle. Once we separated the ball joint from from the lower control arm, the ball joint post had to be overly heated and then pounded out with a sledge hammer from the knuckle. The ball joint compression device that I had available to me didn't have long enough rings so I had to cut a piece of pipe for it to fit over the length. 25 years of doing IT work does not help any with the physical requirements for this type of job.
