    Steering mod question

    My tie rods need to be replaced. After seeing this I thought it might free up some down travel, be a little more beef than stock (bigger tie rods?) and clean up some bump steer. I imagine that the bend in the links would narrow the width enough to use in a stock D35 application. As you can see...

    Steering mod question

    It looks like it works well... I’m guessing that due to the bends they had to have the steering extended but the stock ttb D44 steering lengths may be long enough to use this on a stock width D35??? Thoughts??? Here’s the YouTube link:

    Steering mod question

    Does anyone know if the tie rod ends from a 80-96 f150/bronco would bolt directly into the knuckles of a explorer? I saw a steering setup I’d like to try and was wondering if anyone had tried this idea.

    My explorer has been sitting for 5 years

    If it was running before you parked it, I would say, bar it over just to make sure the engine is still freely spinning (not completely necessary if you know the engine was running fine)... an oil change would probably be high up on the list... I would torque down the valve covers (the explorers...

    Popping Sound when in 4x4 hi and low?

    I say it's your hubs. I wheeled my ex with auto hubs and 31's pretty hard. Then one day they had enough. They started popping then stopped working altogether. They left me half way up a trail with only two wheel drive. It sucked but I had to turn back because I couldn't make it up a rooted out...

    Radiator fan bearing noise 2016 Models

    My wife's 2016 XLT is also making this noise. We've had the fan replaced once already about two months after we bought it. About a week after replacing the first fan, the second fan started making the same noise again.

    Steering measurement request

    Wow... I have replaced tie rods, drag link, ball joints, pivot bushings, pitman arm, spindles and camber bushings. The drag link and tie rod were the correct measurements as mentioned in above posts. The camber issue was caused by the pivot points being mounted in the six inch holes on my...

    Steering measurement request

    Ok. Can I get two more measurements? Can I get the measurement from the pitman arm to the passenger side ball stud? And the measurement from the drivers side ball stud to the center mounting ball stud?

    Steering measurement request

    Can someone with a stock height 4x4 explorer with no camber issues measure the distance from the driver side tie rod mount (on the knuckle) to the passenger side tie rod mount (on the knuckle).

    The New BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2.

    I bought them for my 2011 f150 last September. I have put about 5000 road miles on them, used them driving on fire roads that aren't very well maintained, snow and in the mud. So far, they have been a very good tire. Great grip, little to no road noise and a comfortable ride. I give these...

    Custom K-link Steering

    I am currently shopping for parts to build something similar.... MJ, do you have a parts list? I have had stock steering with the extreme drop pitman arm on my ex since I built it and my front tires are wearing on the inner edge. I take my explorer to get it aligned every time I go wheeling, but...

    EMC Explorer ideas (no pics)

    This is just a thread to help me get started in the right direction. I have read the rule book but I was wondering what mods some of you would do to enter a Explorer into the stock class EMC. Things that would make it more reliable and help a Explorer finish the race. I am considering trying to...

    lifted explorer problem

    More than likely its because your driving around with no sway bars. Being that tall, with no sway bars is gonna have some adverse effects on your vehicles handling capabilities. I'd put some sway bars on it and see what happens. I sometimes leave my sway bars off when coming home from the trail...

    My 91 ex registry

    I haven't run that trail yet. I may try to get a run in before it closes this year though. I love the trails up there. You could do a week up there and run a different trail everyday.
