found Monroe Quick Struts at www.justsuspensions.com for $449. + free shipping. That's $112.25 ea for fronts and rears for my '02 XLT 2WD. About $30 ea more than the Chinese Strutex. I'm planning on using the Monroe's.

Hitchhikingmike, is your '02 a 2wd, 4wd,or awd? Just curious, 'cause my '02 v8 2wd is just at 80k and I hear only a slight whine from the rear of mine (on my 3rd rear end since new). In another 10k miles I'll probably have to R&R the rear end again. Sorry to see how burned up one of your...

Did a little more digging on the 'net and found a place called www.justsuspensions.com that is less expensive than Rockauto and has free shipping, too. Their prices are a tad higher, but, they give a bigger discount and the net effect is a lower price + free ground shipping. Thanks for the...

My '02 XLT is due for struts soon (have about 80K on it and it's starting to get a little bouncy) and I've been looking around for the best deal on Monroe Quik Struts. Can anyone recommend a good (read: inexpensive) internet seller to purchase from? Have heard of RockAuto, but, I've never...

:feedback:I have an '02 XLT V8 2WD with the Towing Package. I don't tow with it any more and the ride is very harsh (just turned 70k miles). I'd like to replace the struts for a softer ride, but I was wondering, are all the coil springs for my year XLT all the same spring rate? I just assumed...

Would a Dealer Lie to Me Brooklynbay, the service writer said it was the 'fresh air vent door.' I asked if that was different from the blend door and he said it was above the blower motor and was not the blend door. I've seen an exploded drawing of the blend door and actuator, here on the...

:rolleyes:I took my '02 XLT (60K miles) to the dealer to get new upper ball joints (under my x-tended Ford warranty) and asked the service writer:censored: if they could find out what was causing my blower motor to slow down then speed up (and on & on, when I set the selection to MAX). I...

Thelt, After I bought the cargo liner, we didn't use the 3rd seats since my grandkids moved out of state. So, I got one to go behind the 2nd seats all the way to the back door. Never even got a chance to use the vinyl cargo liner. However, the guy I got it from must have used it because it...

For technical assistance or questions regarding Ford products, you might give 1-800-347-1200 a try. Mon-Fri 7am to 4pm Pacific. I got this number off of a Ford instruction sheet for my cargo liner.:D

Donner, As of now, I havn't changed anything. It still is box stock, like I got it. I just thought softer springs and struts would = a softer ride. Just had the front aligned and checked the springs and none are broken, just stiff.

:exp:Does anyone know if the V8 '02 XLT 4X2 4DR with the Trailering Package has higher rate (stiffer) springs, front and rear, than the '02 without the Trailering package? Mine rides like a steel bar and is really uncomfortable to the wife. When I bought this '02 (new) I did use it one time to...

Cargo Liner for Behind 3rd Seat Thelt, I bought one off of e-bay for $32.00 and I never have used it. It is black vinyl with a black vinyl storage case. Has the word Explorer embossed on the case. The instruction sheet is dated 2003 and the numbers on the case tag and sheet are...

Brooklynbay, thanks for the greeting. To answer your question, the battery I just replaced was the OEM battery, with the top posts. The Interstate battery I installed has the same top posts of lead. The battery cable replacement has a polished connector on it with a bolt and nut to secure it...

For the last couple of months, I have been fighting a losing battle with corrosion on the negative battery terminal and cable on my 4.6 '02 XLT. I have cleaned them to what looks like 'near new' condition, but, the corrosion keeps coming back. Used corrosion inhibiting dialectic grease and the...

New to the forum, but have owned an '02 XLT 4 door V8 since it was new. Just now delving into the pride and problems of owning this "trailering special." Looking forward to learning from the 'experts' and from those who have already solved the problems I'm likely to have. After having three...
