Nice to have a forum for about everything imaginable nowadays. I hope to find some good information on this site to help out with my problem.
I recently just replaced upper ball joints on my 96 Explorer 4WD with the 4.0 liter. Also replaced the bushings on the upper control arm, great 2 piece design Ford!
I just left Sears getting an alignment, tech comes out and tells me I have a problem he went to turn the alignment bolt and snapped it so can't get an alignment. Funny how they break it and it becomes my problem, I'll put some heat on it tomorrow and see if I can't get the bolt out without damaging the threads and find a new bolt to put in. I'm having a hard time finding and searching for the size of the bolt, assuming it's a special bolt. Know the bolt head is 17MM, hoping to find the info I need on this site.
Here's to my hunting success!
