The front CV joint fail 3 times in the last year. The original lasted 150,000+ miles but the 2 replacement units from Detroit Axle failed within a few thousand miles. Do you have any input on what might be causing these repeated failures. Mine is a 1999 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD. Half of my driving...

I was a service adviser for Sears Automotive for 7 years and enjoyed some of the perks like you did. Now the closest Sears Automotive is 250+ miles away. I was concerned that the Rancho Shocks might be too stiff. I will check into the pricing on both. I am not in a critical situation and...

I have just updated from my 3rd 1992 Explorer to a 1999 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD. The newest ride still has the factory shocks and I want to get the best ride possible. I drive between 600 and 1,000 miles per week and 100 to 200 miles of that is dirt roads with washboard and pot holes. Most of the...

The bolt in cross member that the radius arms attach to. Mine has rusted out where the left radius arm and bushings attach. The radius arm bangs around and I get some random pulling. Mine is a 92 Explorer Eddie Bower 4x4 that spent too many years in Ohio.

My 1992 Explorer, with 72,000 miles, has 1 noisy lifter. I know that this is common with even low-mileage 4.0L engines and want fit it correctly. This site has a great article on the subject that lists the price for parts & gaskets at $450. I haven't found the lifters for that little...
