#6180 of 6241 2000 Ford Explorer ball joint replacement by bullridingfool May 15, 2009 (1:28 pm)
2000 Ford Explorer XLT V8 Torsion bar suspension. Need to replace ball joints, upper and lower. I have been searching for the correct parts. The Ford website indicates that there is only a QTY=1 of Upper Front Ball joints on the vehicle. I searched by VIN and that's what it came up with. I know for a fact that there are two upper front ball joints (Passenger and Driver sides). Am I missing something here? I have also read that the ball joints, themselves, cannot be replaced and the entire control arm mus be replaced. I find this hard to believe. Any help and.or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: bullridingfool (May 15, 2009 1:28 pm) For the upper ball joint the upper control arm and the ball joint has to be replaced. They are an integrated unit. For the lower ball joints you can replace just the ball joint not the entire control arm. The lower control arm and ball joint take must of the weight and abuse.

Replying to: pfran6078 (Jun 17, 2009 11:43 am) See message #6171 for location of the pcv. You can't see it, but you can feel for it, and pull it out, and replace it by feel.
