Hey guys, this forum has helped me tons with maintenance on my '03 explorer, so first a big thank you to all those that contribute quenstions/answers!!
My issue is a can't locate my Haynes Explorer manual. I've just replaced both upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends and hub assemblies on both sides. I need the torque specs for the following:
Upper ball joint
Upper Control Arm bolts (2)
Lower ball joint
Outter Tie Rod End
Hub assembly bolts (3)
- found an older post here that states 83 ft-lbs, so just looking for verification on this one.
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
Found this but it's for a '99, will these be safe to follow for my '03?
