1997 Explorer XLT

[Emiller45]

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum and have some questions that i hope you guys can help me out with. I have a 1997 exploer xlt. I went to Off Road Warehouse and got a free inspection and this is what they said needs to be replaced: Lower ball joints, 1'' Uni-Ballstainlessst, Tco Bushing Half, Upper arm bushings (PA), and lower ball joint (EACH). SO first off why did they say i need to get lower ball joints and then say i need lower ball joint(each)? Arnt they the same thing? And how much would it cost to get all these parts and do it myself? And also can you guys tell me what else i could do to make my explorer better for the desert (look at the pics).
Thanks, Eric

You can't link pictures off your computer directly. Sign up for photobucket or Flickr where you can upload your pictures there and post a link here. Hope to see your Explorer!!!
