Rear Toe Link 02' Explorer

Incase anyone needs to replace a rear Toe link(similar to a tie rod and end)on an 02' Explorer just take note there was a change in the size of the bolt that connects it to the knuckle.Change was made in March 02' (when mine was built)production line to a larger dia. bolt.Ford parts guy ordered me one and said mine probably had the smaller dia.(15mm) bolt version since it still had the original knuckle.The newer knuckle went to a 17mm bolt.Even giving him the VIN number he got me the wrong one.Had to put the old back on till I can get the 17mm version.If you have the earlier version and have the knuckle break during bearing replacement and they only have the 17mm version knuckle to replace it you will have to buy the newer Toe Link.Gets expensive.Just food for thought!
