I know this is an explorer forum but for this question it really shouldnt make a difference. 2001 Ranger XLT 2wd coil front suspension. Replaced the swaybar links, upper and lower ball joints, brake pads and rotors, wheel bearings inner and outer. I have a clunking somewhere in the front...

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this so here it is. Couple vids I shot yesterday. These vids were done on my ranger but its pretty much the same idea. Comments and subscriptions are appreciated :) Front Rear

2001 Ford ranger 2wd 3.0 4 wheel ABS. I replaced the brake pads and rotors as well as the bearings a couple weeks ago (someone said something about damaging the ABS by not bleeding the caliper when its compressed but I didnt hear that until after I did the brake job, so i compressed the pistons...

So I installed my new starter and the vehicle started fine the first three times. My install vids are on my youtube acount in the link in my signature. After the first three starts then the starter began grinding like the vehicle was already running when i started it. I think that this...

I was shooting another how to vid on changing the spark plugs and wires on the ex (5.0). One of the spark plugs broke inside the hole. The entire ceramic part came out but the threaded part and the bendable tip are still stuck in the hole. PB blastered it 3-4 times and im gunna have to tackle...

Im pretty sure all explorers come with a dana 35 front diff correct? There isnt a lot of room for a differential cover that sticks out much more than the stock one. Will any dana 35 diff cover work on the front or do they make one specifically for the front? I have to replace mine due to it...

I got all new power steering lines for the ex. New high pressure hose and new return hose, new p/s cooler and cooler hose. Im also trying to replace the 3 lines on the rack itself and NOWHERE carrys the lines needed. I thought they were just brake lines, they look and feel just like brake...

Im going to be painting my axle and under carriage and was wondering if anyone had experience or ideas as far as what kind or brand of paint I should use. I bought some Rustoleum rubberizing undercoating paint for the wheel wells and that seemed to work well but I want do make sure the axle is...

135,000 miles Just replaced the front pads and rotors, rear drums and shoes, ball joints, tie rod ends, and got a 4 wheel alignment. Sway bar links and bushings are in good shape. The clunk was noticeable before all the repairs but seems much worse now. I get an occasional "clunk" when...

Alright, here's the problem. 96 ex 5.0 Trying to get the stuff together so I can shoot my lift shackle how to vid and post it as well as get the truck off the jack stands... I need the bushing and spacer that goes in the frame and in the leaf spring eye and nowhere seems to sell it...

Im getting a little confused as far as ordering this kit to get my new shackles installed. Heres the problem ive ran into. My explorer is a 96 but other members have said the 1st gen explorer shackle/leaf spring kit will work. Thats great and im fine with ordering it. However on the energy...

Hope this helps. Enjoy.

Well I was changing the ball joints and tie rod ends on my girlfriends escort. I ended up putting a small 2-3mm hole in the outer CV boot on the drivers side. Tried patching.... no luck. How hard it is to replace the boot? I did the tie rod, ball joint, brakes, shocks with no problem...

Looking for somewhere that sells leaf spring bushings. Need the ones between the leaf spring and shackle and shackle and frame. LMC truck is the only place that ive found them at so far and they want 51$ for just the leaf spring/shackle bushing set. That seems VERY steep. Any other ideas...

Not much too it. Posted this more so for the diagram I drew more than anything else. Enjoy.

I need a new dana 35 (I believe thats right, see my vehicle specs) differential cover for the front diff. Mines leaking and rust is flaking off. I dont think that most of the fancy aftermarket ones will work because there is only 1/2 inch or so of extra room. Plus, im cheap. Know of anywhere...

Couple differential leaks. What part do I need to stop the axle leak?

Alright. Youtube is down for a couple hours so I cant put up the vid of whats going on yet. Here my problem....... The bolt that goes through the rear spring shackle bracket (which goes through the frame as well, pictured in the top right) is seized inside the metal sleave that is inside...

I plan on getting new shocks this summer. Would these leaf springs trash my new shocks? (I will be installing copperhead shackles in a few days) Should I replace these leaf springs? If so how much does a new set run? Thinking about taking off the sway bars and sway bar links and sanding and...

Just looking for advice on cleaning up yellow fogged up nasty headlights. Have any ideas let me know please. Tried some blue magic headlight polish with a rag and it didnt hardly do anything. Maybe ill try a buffer? Ive heard blue magic metal polish works well.
