Front End Kits

Howdy,

So rockauto only has one kit listed for a 2000 ford f250 7.3 for the front end, which is kit MKIT10759, I have tried multiple times to reach Mevotech for confirmation that this kit fits my application. I unfortunately had bought this kit before I realized it said 4wd until I seen the invoice that came in the mail with the parts for the truck. I am needing to really get this front end done soon as the ball joint play is noticeable from the front of the truck now. I have this kit ready to go and ready to knock this project out, but I can't return already installed parts, so here I am looking for some confirmation that this will work or do I need to get this kit returned to order the proper parts for the truck.

Thanks,
Stinky

So you have a 2wd?

Let's take a look:


Your kit

Ball joints in that kit

4wd

2wd

Ball joints in that kit does not fit in 2wd.

You mentioned specifically ball joints.

So i picked them up here.
I suspect that atleast tie rod ends are different in 2wd vs 4wd.

why risk it...send the entire kit back and order the correct parts. once you open it you will not be able to return them for full value.

Do they have the individual parts? maybe just not in a preformed kit?

Thats 4x4, but I've bought XRF from the same vendor for my 2wd Excursion and I can confirm I'm happy with the kit as well.

Oh my bad. I must have missed the part about 2WD. They don’t do an all-in-one kit but they have these:
