A big thank you to ncranchero who emailed me the radio wiring diagrams. The ealry and late builds 02's use the yellow wire from the radio harness to the steering wheel controls.

I installed and aftermarket stereo in my 02 Limited today. I bought and adapter to maintain the steering wheel controls. The instructions for the SWC adapter say to connect to pin 14 of the factory wiring harnes. The factory stereo plug looks different than the SWC adapter diagram...

Thanks for the great write up! I have about 8 hours into replacing both rear bearings. Still need to pull things back apart in the next few weeks to replace all the parking break hardware. Running without it for now. Off to get an alignment. Going to go with the Fireston lifetime...

Thanks you! I jsut finished replacing this bushing (while doing rear wheel bearings). Heat and a 1-1/16 impact socket are the key. I used a lot of penetrating oil, heat and a ball joint press. Use the 1-1/16 socket with the ball joint press to press the bushing out from the front. You...

When our '02 did this the tranny was toast. Unless you are under warranty, I wouldn't have a Ford dealer replace it. Do a search on the forum. There is a lot of good information about how to get it fixed. If I had it to do over again, I would have and independent shop rebuild it with a...

While on vacation, towing our pop-up, we experienced a grinding noise. Specs: 02 Limited 4.6L Tow package New front lower ball joints before the trip Symptoms: After extended highway driving and after coming to a stop at the end of a ramp, the front end (sound like right side) would...

To the stealership............. I wasn't able to break the front driver side loose with the tools available to me. I decided to start on the rears. I figured if I had to pay someone to do one, I could live wiht that. What do I find when Iget the rear tires off and start loosening the top...

I have a Dewalt electric impact gun. I think it is rated at 345 ft-lbs. It just wouldn't break the nut loose on the driver side. Rethinking this weekend, I think I will attempt the rears. I know some of the mistakes that I did, and how to correct them. I will see if I can borrow my...

I determined this weekend that strut work is not for me. Spent way to many hours just getting one done. The driver front I could not get the bottom bolt to break loose. Looks like I will call around tomorrow to get some quotes to finish the work.:mad:

Do the KYB's need the same "boot" assembly over the top of the strut that Monroe's have? Thanks. I am part way through replacement....

Thanks for the link. I saw that one last night, but it wasn't on sale. I have to do the struts on my Grand Prix as well. Expensive month at our house! Struts on both vehicles and tires on the X. Probably tires on the GP in another month or two.

Thanks Tower. Put the order in through shockwharehouse for the struts and the mounts. Now I need to get a good coil spring compressor.

After doing a bunch of searhcing on the site I have settled on the GR2's to replace the OEM's on my truck. Do I need the KYB mounts for both front and rear or are the stock mounts sufficient? Thanks 02 Limited ~95,000 miles
