Hi All,

New to the board and I have just put my 97 Explorer through MOT.

Needless to say it failed or I wouldn't be posting on here :(
However, I was wondering if any of you either have spares for these parts you would be happy to sell or whether you know or have a list of breakers yards that seem to have explorers in them.

I have rang Equicar and am still waiting for their call back but it would be nice to get a few competitive quotes.

The parts I need are offside front lower ball joint & Both rear leaf spring shackle brackets.

Any tips in fitting these parts greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

Contact Howard on those parts, I'd suggest going with Moog parts, the ones on Ebay are inferior in my opinion, you want a quality balljoint that will last, those chinese produced ones quite frankly don't.
