Do i have to remove torsion bar to chage upper control arm on 2001 Ford Explorer sport?
Bushing have gone bad on my control arms making me wear through tires like no ones business so I'd like to change both but I'm worried about the torsion bar.
It doesn't look like it. It's not clear how the bushings are accessed but he gets the UCA unloaded.
Go to the library and read about this in a Chilton's manual.
Watch a youtube video showing how it's done and then decide if you can do it with out getting hurt.
- What other vehicles have the same lower control arm/ ball joint assembly as a 2004-2009 Mazda 3? Trying to find a replacement at a junk yard, so far I know about the Mazda 5 which is compatible, wondering if there are any Fords that would have the same piece. A list of make/model/year would be great.
- Torsion bar lift worth it? I have a 2004 ford ranger 4x4 xlt and i don't like the way it sits. Like most other pickups its angled towards the front and i don't really like that. I have heard about twisting the torsion bars to raise the front end up, but i have no idea how to do it. So i guess my question is: Is it worth doing? Can i do it myself? And what's a safe distance to raise it? I have heard that if raised to far it can cause things to wear early. Any information on this helps a ton!
- How do you remove a 2011 ford fusion grill bar? I need to replace one of the 3 chrome bars of the grill. How do you do this? It looks like they are just snapped in place, so do I just pry it out?
- What is the difference between a Electronic control module and Engine control module? I recently bought a cheap Ford Focus which was affected in floods… I got the water of the engine and pretty much all the places, all my lights and few other electronic functions work… But my engine doesn't turn on and my HUD is dead, but works on another car… What should i do?
