explorer ball joints
hello everyone , new member from england, just joined today,
can anyone tell me whether you can change the bottom ball joints on a 97 explorer front suspension or do you have to change the complete arm? regards

Yes...the lower ball joints can be replaced.
I was afraid I'd have to replace the entire assembly, but not only were the b.j.'s avaialbe, they were also very nexpensive. Apparently, according to my dealer, they are not known fro their longevity, therefore, Ford sells them cheap. In fact they were less than half the price of aftermarket.
