- 2002 explorer xlt 4x4
I had a service shop tell me that my rear cross axial ball joints (lower?) were loose. I also need new struts for the rear since one of the struts is shot. With a 4 wheel alignment the quote was $700. I am looking to do it myself and am looking for any information that will help with this task. I have read a great step by step procedure in the forum for 95 to 01 explorers on how to replace the lower ball joint on the front axial. My question is does anyone know if the procedure would be the same for lower ball joints on the rear axial of a 2002 4wd explorer? If anyone has more information I would appreciate it. I can't seem to find any postings dealing with replacing the rear lower ball joints in this forum.
I'm a new poster so I appologize if this isn't permitted but here is a link to the posting of how to replace the lower ball joints on the front axial in the 95 to 01 forum... it is really a great write-up.
