    Front-end suspension parts question...your opinions are needed please

    2000 Explorer XLT SOHC... I saw an ebay vendor that has a front suspension kit ebay item #160448775454 for 119.00 and the parts brand is xcp...1 year warranty...anyone ever heard of this. There are three more listed with pretty much the same stuff but look more complete... #140376531937...

    Two probs related to recent rotor change

    2000 xlt 2wd sohc 1. ABS chatter on left front at slow speeds (didn't try at greater speeds due to me not knowing the implications of ABS doing this). Removed ABS fuse (#7, 30A), not chatter, brakes work fine, ABS light lit. I cleaned the front two ABS sensors, still chatters with fuse in. I...

    need help fast...front wheel inner bearing

    Ok, I thought replacing the rotors was easy from what everyone said...they came off fine, however, I notice that there is an inner wheel bearing that is pressed into the original rotor. The brembo replacement rotors do not have this bearing pressed into it. How do I get that out of the original...

    Rear rotor removal

    Probably a dumb question...If one is changing the rear rotors, does the parking brake on both sides need to be removed or does the rotor just come off after removing the caliper?

    Starts but won't stay running...intermittant

    Ok, 2000 xlt sohc...new plugs and wires...starts normally most of the time, but occasionally the truck starts and will only stay running if I stay on the gas...if I rev high during this condition it sounds like one of the cylinders isn't firing (dunno)...get off the gas and it dies. Sometimes...

    Which Hawk Brake Pads to get?

    I've decided on the Brembo rotors from tirerack since they are within my budget (powerslots are a bit beyond my reach). So, I would like to try the Hawk pads that I see everyone recommending, but which exact Hawk pad should I get?

    Brake Noise

    I'm getting an intermittant scrapping noise from my right side brake...I think its in the rear. I had the same thing on the left rear a year or two ago, shop told me they "had to take the caliper apart and adjust it". When I apply the brakes the noise stops but eventually comes back. Any ideas?

    Measuring Front Sway Bar for Bushings

    Ok, I took a caliper and put it on a couple spots in the center of the front sway bar...it read 31mm...there is no bushing that is 31mm...choices are 27mm, 29mm, 34mm. Is there somewhere else I can measure this or possibly call ford and give them my vin# for them to tell me?

    Need an honest answer regarding lower ball joints

    First off, thanks Gavin for your insight on my previous question (I've decided to go with the mevotech uppers) this is kind of a continuation of that thread. I've seen some of you say that sometimes the aftermarket lbj's don't fit into the stock arm. I'm concerned about this. I would much...

    UCA/bushings, LCA/bushings question...thinking about ordering from RockAuto

    I just ran across one of the vendors on this site, RockAuto. I saw they have several different types of UCA's w/ bushings...the Raybestos are the cheapest, then Dorman (which says OE) and on up. I'm on a tight budget and was wondering how the Raybestos arms hold up. Heres a link to the RockAuto...

    Front end noise when theres a decent amount of deflection

    Ok, this one is hard for me to describe...its a noise coming from my right front when I go over a bump that gives the suspension a decent amount of deflection. Kinda a low pitched squeak on the down stroke and up stroke...almost like you'd here from a mattress...lol...get your minds outta the...

    These are the plugs with 2 electrodes that do not require gapping...are these any good or should I return them and get the autolite double platinum (app103) or the autolite single platinum (ap103)? Also, I think I bought the bosch OE wires...dump them as well? What would be the best wires? (Its...

    New Member San Diego/El Cajon, CA

    Just wanted to say hello and say I'm damn happy I stumbled upon this forum in a google search. I was up late the other night browsing the site and I could have sworn I saw a link in a thread for a service manual iso (I have a 2000 Explorer 4.0L SOHC). It would be greatly appreciated if someone...
