    1997 Ford Explorer XLT--Need Part F77Z3B676EA

    Ha! Cream Puff is the term I use for my 23 year old vehicle. It still looks brand new! Well taken care of and well maintained over the years. Just 150,000 miles on it. And this is why I'm trying to get the vehicle repaired and some of the folks that have responded have come through with...

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT--Need Part F77Z3B676EA

    My mechanic said I would need to pruchase this part (for the 1998 Explorer) and bring it in. He said the part needsto match exactly (length, diameter, etc.) and can't be 1/4" too short or too long. And he would need to remove the old part (1997) and compare with the 1998 version. So now I'm...

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT--Need Part F77Z3B676EA

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT--Need Part F77Z3B676EA

    Not really sure, since I'm not a mechanic. The diagrams all appear to show a boot covering the u-joint. If I can get a technical drawing with diameters, splines, etc., I may have someone that could track down the part. I don't understand why 4 of the 12 parts of the column are discontinued...

    1997 Ford Explorer XLT--Need Part F77Z3B676EA

    I am at wits end in my efforts to locate a part necessary for my 1997 Ford Explorer. Evidently, the part is discontinued and obsolete in 2011. The part is called either the steering shaft u-joint or lower shaft and joint assembly. The part number is F77Z3B676EA. I've checked everywhere...
