I had a thought on the lower control arms and the weird fitment issues that have happened. What about getting some LCA's from a pick and pull (obviously checking for cracks and bent areas) and then replacing the bushings and ball joint? Then it would be a OEM and then after you could replace the...

hoping someone can help me out been searching for a hour or so can't seem to find any good answers. I just replaced the front bushings and end links (much more better :D). Now I'd like to do the rear but I can't find a part number that seems to match up with anything.

Bought the schosche fd3090 it says it works with a 96 explorer. I can't get any combo to work with my pioneer deh-p4000ub head unit.... got it all wired just can't put it back in the car. I had a different scosche ford dash kit but took it back because it didn't say it worked with the explorer...

So here is the deal. 96 4.0 explorer, some days it will start with out any problem fires up just fine, then after stopping some where shutting the engine off it wont start back up.

1996 4x4 explorer. Almost done pulling the trans but do you have to remove the part of the exauhst where it feeds to the cat? We have one bolt left on the bellhousing on the upper passenger side real pain to get to and break loose. And we are debating if we need to take that part of the exauhst...

So my wife was driving to work, thankfully still on the dirt road. She reports a loud clunk and it would not move anywhere in any gear. I haven't had a chance to look at it, always dark when i get home from work. Anyways its a 96 4.0 4x4. I think its the a4ld but I can't remember. Will post more...

So at times when i turn my turn switch up to turn right it makes a horrible buzzing sound and my light does not work. Is this a common problem and what can i do to fix it?

I posted over a week ago and got no reply like usual. So what is/ was going on was the explorer would not start with a jump even. It would just click once and that was it, i would turn the key a few more times and the locks would cycle. the clicking sound sounded like it was coming from the...

So I was using my headlights to see while bbqing about a week ago went to start it and it only clicked once So my thought is bad battery or starter but the sound of the click comes from the fender so I thought it was the starter solenoid. My battery may be bad but I borrowed a friends optima and...

I took it to the tranny shop after finding this code, guy had the part replaced it charged me 70 bucks said don't worry about paying me yet ( I paid anyways) just incase the cel comes back. He said he took it for a road test and it did fine still shifting hard like normal but no light. Light...

I haven't seen any one do any bulb changes to the lights the heating/ac radio control in the center console in the back seats (unless I just missed it). Does it take the 196 bulbs? I want it to match my gauge cluster. Sorry I forgot to mention its on my 96

I've got (8) 5 SMD LED's on the way from ebay got them for 15.16. I'm going to swap out my HVAC and the gauge cluster when i swap my radio out. I have seen that people have taken the airbag out. Is that completely necessary? They should be here within the next week I think, I ordered them about...

I know there are the 4.0 and 5.0. But I see things about OHV and SOHC. So what are the differences in power or are there the two different motors in a 1996?

My buddy has a second gen so I don't know what year or anything about it, except it's white and has leather interior. He's just talked to me about it a couple times, but it has a problem dieing when the outside temp is over 95. Is this a MAF prob or something else? Him and his wife are thinking...

Got this radiator for free the in-laws got it from a friend of theirs and said it is out of an explorer. But it does not look like it is the same as mine completely. Got a pic of the serial or part number as well as pics of the radiator its self. Notice in this pic the lower hose spout is...
