    Strange sideways shimmy in new 03 Explorer

    Well, my 2000 EB is showing a little age, clearcoat worn down, noisier inside, needs new windshield (thanks gravel truck!) so even though it doesn't use a drop of oil and the transmission is still excellent, I went for a shiny newer one yesterday. New for me is 2003 EB with hi kms but...

    Front End Rebuild-brakes,ball joint,shock,hub bearing,tie rods (Lots of Pictures!!)

    Initially I planned to make about 10 seperate how to threads for this, but to make my life easier I decided to split it into only 2: front and rear. The rear will come in the next month or two. This applies to all 1996 to 2001 four wheel drive explorers and explorer sports. I am not sure about...

    Camber and Toe issues after lift

    Any suggestions? My caber was aligned "to spec" by Pep Boys, but the wheels sit like this when parked or after turning sharp. When I drive, they straighten out and are fine. I am not so much worried about the tires wearing as I am about having possible serious suspension issues. Also, my...

    Steering feels weird but no power steering fault

    I have a 2011 XLT, I have noticed the steering feeling like it has a mind of its own sometimes.. Example: I can drive straight and it feels as if I am riding in rain and I sometimes have to grab the wheel to make sure I'm not losing traction for a split second and I regain control.. Never had...

I had to hammer in(pretty good) my upper balljoint because it was...

    1999 Explorer XLT 5.0L AWD 2-3 months ago I went to our local tire shop and asked for new tires and an alignment. The shop ordered the tires and we scheduled an appointment a few days later. I got to the shop the day of the appt. and they got started. Twenty minutes later or so, they call me...

    Wheel Bearing on 1992 Explorer

    Hi, I recently had 4 new tires installed on my '92 Explorer. I also had it aligned and purchased a lifetime free alignment. However, my question is this: When they replaced the tires and did the alignment, should they have been aware of an existing loose wheel bearing? Thanks...

    Caster problem.

    I have a 2000 Explorer AWD 5.0L, with 98,000 miles, and just had the right side ball joints replaced. My Explorer tracked straight before this replacement. The repair shop tells me that after aligning the tires, that the passenger side caster is adjusted to the max, but that the wheel has been...

    Front left side lower than right

    I just bought a 97 ford explorer sport. Its a four door 4x4. Everything is great but the owner told me he got into a bad wreak involving the front right of the car. Well he took it to a place to get the frame fixed and then got a new axle. My problem is that when looking at the front left of the...
  14. Double check the alignment of the hole.

    Double check the alignment of the hole.

    Don't drill a 1/4" hole until you check the alignment first.

    Slanted Steering

    The steering wheel in my explorer is lined up at a 15% angle vs. a perfect angle. Any ideas on how to do it yourself would be most appreciated.
