Suspension rebuild checklist - 90's models
#1
Hello,
looking for advice on all items that should be checked if I were to rebuild/replace all worn suspension items.
(will be working on my 94' 400L and a 95' 400 Explorer, both essentially function the same but different body styles)
This is what I think I need to look at, missing anything?
-Front Wheel Bearings
-Front Hub Seals
-Front A Arm Bushings
-Tie rods
-Tie rod ends
-Upper steering bushing
-Lower steering bushing
-Front strut assembly (shocks, springs, casing)
-Rear shock/spring assembly
-Rear axle bearings inside housing (single axle/swingarm style)
-Swingarm bushings
-Engine mounts
-I plan on checking the function/condition of my hilliard clutches/plates as well.
so anything else I should be checking?
If I'm going to tear apart the front end I figure why not replace all items while its apart.... overkill?
About 2300 miles on each machine but the 95 needs more attention.
looking around $700 in parts to do (almost) all this on 2 machines.
Thanks!
