New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASL...
This video shows you how to install a lower control arm on your 2002-2005 Ford Explorer. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2002 Ford Explorer
2003 Ford Explorer
2004 Ford Explorer
2005 Ford Explorer

It's a straightforward r n r job, but many shade tree mechanics and mechanics shops leave out, or omit seemingly unimportant steps but you cover them all like the true Professional Mechanic that you are. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise Sir. I really enjoyed watching your awesome video. It brought me back to my wrench turning days of old. Lol. Please take care, and stay safe Brother, and keep those awesome videos coming. I hope that others can benefit from learning the right way to perform these repairs safely, and properly.
Now I recognize you, 1A auto!!! You are awesome! Thanks for all your great videos.
Good video and explanation detail. This is a big job! Not sure I could do it unless I had a whole weekend to devote to it.
I'm starting to understand why people pay mechanics to replace control arms lol. I'll have to wait until there's more daylight in the day since currently it gets pretty dark by 4:30pm EST to even attempt this.
Thank you for your video is very interesting and on learning how to do mechanic in my truck thank you
I have a squeal in the front of my explorer, I recently changed the links and the upper control arm..I wanted to know if the squeal is due to the lower control arm bushings or the shock absorbers and if the lower control arm bushings can be replaced instead of changing the entire assembly.....by the way, thanks to your video I was able to change the upper control arm
Can you Do a video on the rear lower control arm on this exact truck .
On a 2002 Ford explorer my wiper is only work on high when I switch to intermittent or low wiper settings you can hear the other relay clicking from the relay to the wiper motor there's a blue wire that's not getting any voltage any ideas because it goes back and forth to the fuse box to the motor to the fuse box has anybody had this problem before
So this wouldn't apply to a 2001?
