My niece has a issue with front end ball joints/tie rods and my go to guy was going to give me a quote over the phone,but he needs to know if it's torsion bar or coil springs. I can't look at it today and I used vin # for clarification but it said bad #. Did they offer both in 2004?

 

 

It may be time to look for a new parts man. Why would you build a truck and design two different ball joints for it ? Now some upper ball joints are replacable in the arm, and soome need a new a-frame to go with it. I have heard the new design ball joints can be pressed into the original a-frames... but ask when you buy.

 

You do have the Explorer and not the Sport track, right ? That might be what he was talking about.

 

It's a 4 door Explorer and I'm going to run by where she works and peek underneath it today. Thanks anyway.
