Looking for an Oasis

Sharkdriver · #1 (**permalink**) 07-14-2008, 06:40 AM

Making my move back to the real world after spending some time in Saudi Arabia and am looking to pick myself up an Excursion. Wondering if someone would be so kind as to run an oasis on the following for me:

1FMNU42P55ED45218

Thanks very much again. Just looking at that Oasis, are the ball joints being replaced a concern? The vehicle has very low mileage so I find it strange that the ball joints would have required changing. Is this a weak point on the EX?

Thanks for the link to the sticky. I'm still a newbie, so please excuse the newbie mistakes

I'll use the sticky thread from now on.

Ball joints seem to be a re-occuring theme on Excursions as it is on Super Dutys also.

The factory ball joints do not have a grease fitting in them, so they dry out. Make sure the ones you replace them with have the grease fittings in them, such as the Moog ball joints.

They aren't a weak spot per se, just that you can't grease them
