Ford Explorer Sport Trac Ball Joint
Ford explorer sport trac ball joint is an important component of suspension and steering system because it links the control arms and the steering knuckles. This component is made in order to allow some kind of movement in two planes which inform the vehicle about the road conditions and the direction it has been steered to. Mainly of Steel material, the Ball Joint contains a stud and bearing along with a socket area covered by Rubber Boot to avoid contact with any dirty substances and to lubricate the joint.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Ball Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and install balljoints on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A:For 1991 through 1993 2WD models, removal starts with the Spindle followed by the elimination of the snap-ring from the lower ball joint with the lower ball joint being first. By using a special ball joint assembly tool with the appropriate receiving cup one can force the lower ball joint out of the spindle; if this is not possible, one should consult a dealer or a machine shop. Do the same for the upper ball joint and secure it with the same tools used putting it into the axle without heating of the components. This is done as follows: Mount the lower balljoint as described above and tighten it with the snap-ring; later carry out a front-end alignment test. For four-wheel models, the spindle and shaft assembly needs to be removed of which the tie-rod and upper ball joint need to be detached. After the camber adjuster sleeve is out, one has to take out the lower balljoint using a vise and a tool to press it out. Very carefully scrape the channel in the steering knuckle bores before fitting the new lower balljoint which has to be straight and seating it into properly. Proceed with the upper balljoint with due regard for the camber adjuster and tighten the steering knuckle with a new nut and a cotter pin. Last of all, install the tie-rod end and examine the front-end geometry. As for the models manufactured after 1995, the balljoints both on the upper and lower Control Arms are non- serviceable; replace the control arm if it is damaged. The lower ball joint is interference fit in the 2005 model, meaning that it has to be pressed out using a removal tool after removing the spindle /knuckle and snapping off the snap-ring, and then it has to be pressed in the same manner.
