Videos like this make me grateful that I don't live in the rust belt. My '03 190K mile Explorer doesn't have a spec of rust anywhere and all of the bolts come off easily. It's been the same for every car I've owned from MY 1989 - 2017.

Clean video. Ty for showing us in detail. Most videos out there are pretty bad quality on this particular explorer.

[@drlangattx3dotnet]

Thanks for a great video. How hard was it to move the sway bar up to allow the long bolt to get in? If it was hard, why did you not show that task? How did you do it? Thank you.

Is this the same for a 2005 ford explorer sport trac 4x4?

[@timothyangelosanto9668]

Don't do the lower ball joint just upper and tie rod end plus breaks and sensor behind rotor it will come out

[@toddwilde8743]

top ball joint would not separate from the knuckle?? your thoughts

[@brettleist7563]

Pickle fork and hammer

[@triizzmattiicz]

Beat it with a hammer 🔨

19:05 I really hope that was for demonstration purposes. There is no way you torqued that to 184 ft. lb. with that length torque wrench and force used.
