    how do you change a window motor in the rear door?

    First you have to take off the door panel and tear off the plastic seal (if you are careful you might be able to reattach it). Next, take off the speaker and it's housing. Then you need to drill holes in the dimples near where the motor is so you can access the bolts with a ratchet to unscrew...

    Fuel Filter Replacement?

    How often should you replace the fuel filter? I've read conflicting information (The Haynes manual stated that the filter should last the life of the vehicle).

    Radius Bushings

    today i feel like i was hit by a car, very sore! the ride is much improved, and i am very much impressed with the results. no more clunk! also, seemed like there was less body roll in a couple turns i took (probably due to the new shocks though). I went with pro comp es 9000's, because...

    Radius Bushings

    well i tackled it today. took all day but i also changed the fluid in the front/rear diff's, and put new shocks all around. hardest parts were: -getting the rivets out (i grinded, but on one of the rivets the body mount bolt got in the way and made it difficult to get a straight blow with...

    Radius Bushings

    i got the energy suspension ones, but since those don't come with the other parts i also purchased an el-cheapo version from napa that comes with all the parts. i am pretty sure the nylon thing will be bent because its been a while that i've had this radius arm bushing issue, and also i want to...

    Radius Bushings

    so just to clarify: the jack stands will be right past the RAB's on the frame rail so they aren't interferring with the job but are still able to support the front of the truck off the ground (far enough so that the tires are at full droop). thanks again :)

    Radius Bushings

    i have some quick questions... where do you put your jack stands? under the axle? on the frame? if so, where on the frame? does the front suspension need to have no load on it? i am going to do the bushings this weekend, and use the grinding method to get the rivets off. wish me luck...

    '92 Ford Explorer; Vibration under load only between 25-50MPH

    Hello, I am hoping someone can give me some advice on a problem I am having with my 1992 Ford Explorer (4-wheel drive, 150,000miles). Two weeks ago, a major vibration started to occur. The thing is, it started right after I replaced all 4 ball joints with a friend. A key bit of information...

    this problem is really irritating next week i am going to replace the fuel filter and the 2 u-joints on the driveshaft to the rear wheels... i'll pray that it works but i really don't have a clue if it will work (the parts needed replacing anyway i guess) 2 days ago i was going down a...

    Hello, help 92 Explr, severe vibrate under load? 12/5/04

    its funny but i'm having pretty much the same problem... vibration under load after 30mph it all started after changing the ball joints, actually. but the reason i don't think the ball joints have anything to do with it is because it only happens after 30MPH, and only when i have my foot...
