    What brand control arms

    So about to have 100,000 miles and I have 2 ball joints on the way out and worn bushing all over the place. I want to start replacing suspension components.

    Brakes pulling

    I just bought it a few weeks ago but it looks like the passenger rear caliper has been replaced and all the pads look pretty new so not sure how long ago anything was done.

    Cruising at highway speed question

    Forgot to mention what is also sparking this concern is I’m getting 16.5 mpg with 90% highway driving. I know it’s an older vehicle and things change with age and I didn’t buy it for getting great gas mileage I just heard 20 mpg on the highway and I’m obviously getting less. Just up graded to...

    Cruising at highway speed question

    So I’m new to having an explorer tryin to get the feel of what’s normal and not. It’s an 06 with the 4.6.
