Great Axle P.B. Responses Thanks to all for the suggestions. Derocha: Thanks for the tip on ball joint tool. I'd rather own than rent as a matter of personal choice. Still gotta figure out which one is right for my application. BTW, I'll be installing Daystars rather than E. Suspension...

Axle Pivot Bushings Bill M: Thanks for the response. At this point, I am very frustrated by having to pound the heck out of things to replace them. That's why I'm interested in acquiring the tools to make the job easier. This 4-pack of tools mentioned above applies a threaded screw thru...

Hello Explorers: I have a 93X, has that front end vibration problem some of you know about. I want to replace the Axle Pivot Bushing with some Daystars that have been sitting in the shop now for a couple of months! I'd like to purchase the following tools (numbers came from the Powertrain...

MAJOR Tranny upgrades? Glacier 991: What were the transmission upgrades to the 93 A4LD that you mention in your latest post? Thanks

Another tranny suggestion Sir Robin: I had a Jasper engine installed on my 93X about a year and a half ago, and it appears to be working good so far. Apparently Jasper also supplies rebuilt transmissions with a 3 yr. 36K mile warranty. I don't know aobut the quality, but the warranty sounds...

Front Springs I'm getting ready to replace the front springs on my 93 X. There are about 177k miles on them, and they appear to be contributing to my tire wear as in your case x9293, per several mechanics I've talked with. MrBoyle: Ultimately the springs will sag again, but all you can do is...

Or is this written up fairly comprehensively elsewhere on this board. Thanx a bunch. Gee, I should check my eyes...

How many hours does Ford think that it takes to repair a Ford Explorer? When shops give you an estimate, they either use software or consult a manual which details the number of hours that various repair procedures should take. I emailed Ford about the availability of such a manual, and got...

RA bushings already replaced Gosh, I write this wordy thread, check it for spelling errors, and forget to include one piece of info. Yes, the same mechanic replaced the RA bushings last year. In fact, I mentioned this on a thread in the front end section, but forgot to include it here. It...

Wanna know a little more about RA Bushings I was just browsing this thread, and had a couple of Q's about Radius arm bushings. My mechanic replaced them about a year ago to get rid of a nasty vibration at 65. He cut off the rivets, replaced the bushings and replaced the rivets with high...

I have a 93 Explorer, w/ Goodyear 235-75-15 tires. All Terrain somethings. (I should have this info better at hand, but I don't think that the brand and type of tires is the problem.) These tires should have at least a full season (Summer 2003 and the following winter) left on them. Over the...

I had the same problem last year on my 93X. Solution: Loose wheel nuts allowing loose bearings, diagnosed by manually shaking tires vertically while on jack stands. Problem solved? Nope. Next solution? Radius arm bearings. Problem solved? Yes... for about a year. Now the klunking noise is...

I installed a 40 series Flowmaster exhaust and a K&N filter on my 93X. There was definately a horsepower increase because of easier air intake and exhaust. At 2000 rpm the ehaust is somewhat louder, due to some kind of resonating effect, but the sound is generally very good, without being too...

Rebuilt Engine Hey: I put in a Jasper rebuilt engine on my 93 explorer about a year ago. It has been a very good engine. My lesson learned was that the "good deal" I got on the explorer ended up being a higher cost than typical for such an old vehicle. However, I have a nationwide 3 year...

Thanks for all the imput: I found USA made Timken bearings at Autozone. Found Seals there as well, but these were made in Indonesia. While I was at it, I purchased brake caliper pins at Advance Auto: these were made in Korea. I forgot to inquire about brake caliper pins at a-zone. At NAPA...

I need to replace all wheel bearings in my 93 explorer. The last ones I put in were inexpensive chinese products which are not giving satisfactory service. I've just spent about an hour on the Timken site, without being able to find bearings for this vehicle. Google search is not successful...
