99 Explorer
These things ever go out of it? We bought our 99 when it had about 80k on it. It now has almost 180k on it. Just replaced the wheel bearings/hubs (4wd), lower ball joints and upper control arms. Pretty sure they were the originals. Scribed the eccentrics before taking it apart. Took it to get aligned today and other than the toe being off, we live on a rough dirt road so, caster/camber was good. Thing the engineers must of have been sipping the bong water when they designed that upper ball joint....
 












Sounds like you have the original two piece UCA on the passenger side.
Benefit of the one piece is new bushings but you lose caster adjustment.

It did indeed still have the 2 piece deal on the right side. The one I got from Napa was not a Moog part. I trailed it to town, the clutch in the transfer case is locked up so it is stuck in 4wd. But I did take it for a quick drive when I got it home, seemed pretty stable, time will tell.....
