Car runs fine now So I changed out all my spark plug wires and plugs and my car doesn’t shake violently anymore! I changed the 3rd cylinder plug first and the car ran fine then I changed the rest. I did notice that on the 3rd plug that there was oil on it, not thick or gunky but regular...

I noticed while working on my front end that a wire was cut in half, I'm not sure what it's for exactly but it looks like it has something to do with the fuel system. I circled it in red, it was cut in half about 10 inches down.

What would make the car randomly work as if there isn't a problem then start shaking again?

Little update. Now the car is shaking all the time except when I give it gas, any time I idle or let off the gas it shakes. I changed the fuel filter but that didn’t fix anything. The check engine light came on again but now it’s code P0303. The odd thing with this whole situation is...

Yeah I've realized now that this probably isn't an easy fix. It does drain coolant and I see absolutely no leaking under the car at all. It puts when I first start it and after 8 hours when I get out of work it puts again. I'm thinking it may be the fuel system/head gasket.

I had a thought, could it be something with my fuel pressure? My car only puts when I first start it after sitting for a while. #If I stop at a store for 10-15 min and start my car it starts just fine, it's only after sitting for a while that this happens. #I know that the system stays...

What would be the best way for me to tear them off? I’ve tried pretty hard to pull the boot but no luck which is making me less confident I can get the harder to reach ones.

And I’ve noticed the past few day’s that my coolant keeps draining but I can’t see it leaking anywhere.

I can't really comment on anything but the 3 point, my clutch is engaged the entire time I have the a/c running.

I was taking a test run at changing the plug and I can't for the life of me get the boot off. I've tried moving left/right and pulling but they don't budge at all. Any tips?

I haven’t had the fuel filter changed but my fuel pump was changed a few months ago. I purchased the car about 2 and a half years ago and I haven’t replaced the spark plugs since I got it and the previous owner never said when the last time he changed them. Is it easy to change them out...

Car: 96 Explorer v6 Eddie Bauer Well the other day I started my car and it began to shake/put as soon as it started. Once I gave it some gas the putting went away until I came to a stop sign, then my car began to shake really bad. The shaking went away once I gave it gas but on the next...

Would anyone know what that bolt is called in case I have to get another one, and would anyone know where to get one? I know I could leave it but I'm worried that I'll need to get an alignment done and they'll have to adjust that bolt.

Does the head missing effect getting an alignment done in the future? I ask because my alignment before was messed up and after I changed out the control arm and lower ball joint that I have to hold my steering wheel to the 2 o'clock position to drive straight so I'm guessing I'll have to get...

I could try and heat it up but it's quite a bit of thread I'd have to reverse before I could get it out. I'm just not sure if it would be better to just try and weld the head back on

Car: 96 ford explorer v6 While taking of my passenger upper control arm I took off the 2 main bolts and noticed one on the right side facing the front that I thought I needed to take off too. I didn't realize that i didn't need to remove it that it could stay because the arm just slides around...

Anyone?

I’ve seen a couple threads and videos of people changing out their control arms/ball joints and noticed that some use an extra jack stand for the lower control arm for the suspension while some people don’t. So my question is, do I need to use a jack stand to support the suspension on the...

I should be receiving my parts today and plan on changing the upper control arms and lower ball joints this weekend but before I get started I just needed a little clarification. I’ve seen a couple threads and videos of people changing out their control arms/ball joints and noticed that some...

Oops I was on a different site that I thought was the moog site. So the 8710 would just be the one piece with the L shaped bend? I only need the one piece so it that is it then that would work. The grease fittings aren’t a huge deal for me, but I can understand how they are a great benefit.

I came across these cheaper MOOG control arms on rockauto.com: MOOG Part # RK8708 MOOG Part # RK8710 I tried doing some google searching but can’t find them on the MOOG site or any reviews of them.

While searching rockauto.com I came across cheaper lower ball joints: RAYBESTOS Part # 5051281B lower ball joints Has anyone had any experience with them? They are like only 11$ and I know you get what you pay for but will these do the job or should I spring for MOOG?

Thanks for the link to the site, very useful!!! While searching I came across cheaper lower ball joints, I’m willing to spend a little more for quality/reliability. But I came across these RAYBESTOS Part # 5051281B lower ball joints. Has anyone had any experience with them? I also came...

I'm gonna go ahead and replace them but does anyone know the correct part number for the lower ball joint? I've checked several sites that say the K8695T is correct but I'm trying to get it on amazon for half the price and they say it doesn't fit...Is this just a mistake on their end?

I’m thinking I’m gonna go ahead and replace both upper control arms and lower ball joints since I hear the clunk on both sides of the vehicle. I’ll get a front end alignment after I’ve replaced them all but I wanted to make sure I’m getting the right parts. I looked at oreillyauto.com for the...
