A few months back myself and a friend did a little Baja style Off Roading. Now thats alot of fun and is kind of the thing to do around here.

Alot of the Off Roading that I've done here is up & down and around alot of Sand Dunes and Trails in the Sand. I can say that we really used the suspension but not quite Abused it. She just wasn't used to it.

After the last excursion I now have alot of front end sqeeks. When going over speed bumps slow I can hear all kinds of sqeeks & metal creaks.

I've recently installed...
Old Man Emu Shocks
Old Man Emu Rear Springs
Warrior Shackles
3" Body Lift

Now she really rides alot smoother and things are great. I've replaced my Fuel Pump & Radiator (New 4 Core). So things went on hold for a bit.
Now I want to get back fixing the Front end.

What would you guys suggest me replacing to get her ready for the up and coming season of Desert Romping. I really don't want to find out 300 miles from everything that my _____ has failed or broken.

I'm kind of a Preventive Maintence kind of guy so please bring on your suggestions.

I want to get everything and do it all at once so I can order it wait my few weeks to get here then get it done.

Thanks in Advance to everyone for there help.

I would do ball joints for sure.Do you have poly Swaybar bushings?
 






Yeah I would recommend swaybar bushings.
 






Yeah the squeaking is most likely your ball joints. "Bajaing" your explorer causes them to wear quickly.
 






Thanks I'll find out the cost tomorrow when I go to pick up my FPR at the Dealership. Hope it doesn't kill me!
 






I bought Upper & Lower, Left & Right Ball joints. Getting a Bushing Kit From Hank G., anything else.

Input host help full thanks
