This video shows you how to install new lower ball joint on your 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.

This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
