    2001 Sport Trac Body Mount Bushings w/ Hardware

    When I changed my bushing, I changes them all. I just cleaned up the hardware, painted them, and used them again. The front bolts, by the radiator, were rotten and rusted badly, I had to change the bolts. It is a good idea to loosen them and check them out.

    Body mount bushings help needed

    I have used a impact gun when I replaced all of my bushing on my Sport Trac, I didn't need to heat the bolts up, I used a very large vise grip on the underside as back up with no problems. I am disabled and done the job myself which probably had taken me 9 times longer than if I would have help.

    Main Rear Seal

    Thank you Koda, I guess I will have to go rent a seal puller tomorrow morning. I guess I will drain the fluid from the transmission and while I am doing that change the transmission filter while I have it down. I will have to undo the dipstick from the tranny. I don't like to work in mess if I...

    Main Rear Seal

    Would you think I would have to remove the exhaust? I don't mind removing the transmission, I know I didn't remove the exhaust on the 78 chevy nova because it had a true duel system and wasn't in the way. I just don't know about this Sport Trac and it is a 2 wheel drive. I guess when I start...

    Main Rear Seal

    No, I haven't. I had asked someone @ the shop to see if they can find a oil leak and 30 minutes later he had told me that I needed to replace the main rear seal and the lower oil pan gasket.

    Main Rear Seal

    It's be a long, long, long time that I had changed a rear main seal. I have a 2004 Ford Sport Trac. Today I went to get my truck serviced for one minor thing now I am being told that I need to have a rear main seal and bottom oil pan gasket changed. I don't doubt that I have a leak, I have been...

    Rear shock removal not fun.

    A few months ago, my daughter had helped me changed mine, she was the gopher so I can stay on the ground. IT had taken me about 3 hours. It wasn't really hard to do, but you had to disconnect a few things, ratchet wrenches were needed, and some patience was needed. I live here in South Louisiana...

    Towing ability of 04 ST

    I've just checked mine. My axle ratio is 3.72 with payload upgrade package. I had put a chassis mount hitch on it over 2 years ago. I hadn't pulled anything yet with it, I was going to make myself a teardrop camper, maybe in the future. So I really don't know how much weight I can pull with it.

    Drivers door, key chime doesn't work

    I just read the thread swshawaii, thank you, it is something else I will look into tomorrow. I would hate to change the multifunction relay module and it may not do anything. The only thing that chimes is when I don't put my seatbelt on before I leave my driveway. I doesn't chime when you first...

    Drivers door, key chime doesn't work

    Ok, ncranchero suggested I spray the lock mech, and to slam the door, I have done that many times, nothing. I had taken the door panel off and started shaking the wire harness as much as I could, even the wires going through the door to the pillar, nothing. Next I had unscrewed the locking mech...

    Drivers door, key chime doesn't work

    I know this had been asked a lot. I have read the threads, checking to see if it may help me to fix my issue. When the key is in the ignition, off and door is open, I think it should chime, when I open drivers side door, no interior lights, when the headlight is left on after you pull the key...
