- With that first Crown Victoria front end parts install I left out the (banging ) camera fell and such .. With this video i finished up the inner and outter tie rod ends plus pitman arm and steering idler.. Not a expert by no means of the word.. I did this not to pay $650 ...

I’m watching this video and ROTF 😏 because I’m about to go and do all of that work myself ON BOTH SIDES of my ‘08 CVPI. It won’t be the first time either, but I just love these cars. They go forever!
they do i just did the 96 and just did just the uppers on my 08 Vic... I love these cars also ..
I had to come back and visit this video bro. I hit a pot hole rolling through Baltimore and bent the rim on the front and broke the lower ball joint. Now that's what you call a Merry Christmas!
what? what year car you have? cause this one is a little diffrent cause the 03-up vics are a paint to do cause of the aluminu, but doable... I hope all went well brother... Sorry for the late reply
@@bstfordchannel923 2011. I'm still in the looking phase. Waiting on Maryland Transit Authority to reply to my property damage claim to see if they will send me somewhere to fix it or reimburse me if I fix it myself.
@@pfckirk buy the whole lower arm it will be best.. causae you will get new bushing ect ( no figing to put back in ) thats what i would do to the 2011 Vic
Thanks bro you showed what alot of people figure you supposed to know already
well I try to help a taste , but you still have to go out there and get busy... This will take some of the fears on doing it... The wack part is there is 2 different sizes of ball joints thats what you have to watch out for Donte
nothing like a new rebuilt front end, you don't have to worry about the car falling in the middle of the road because of a broken ball joint or tie rod end
What up bruh? Thanks for this one! I have to do some front end work on the grand Marquis, and this vid makes me familiar with that area of the car BEFORE I dig into it. Yes I have a manual, but still: knowledge is power.Keep up the good work my man.
Man I just seen this youtube be f with me sooo sorry for the ultra late response brother.. i had no clue a 1,000 pardons
I love your honestly, "man I can't hit shit"!
lmao I am still not great swinging hammer lol Thank you for this comment cause i reall push to be honest on video ( many do not want to show their faults ) I do ..
Nice best video I'm seen yet
You're awesome man. Thanks for the video. Great job!
thanks for that i really thank you for the comment and for waching Enzo glad i can help
I did all this kind of stuff on my Mercedes E55 it has rack and pinion steering so inner ball joints were screwed into the ends of the steering rack. Such a b*sat*rd of a job as moisture had got in and corroded one in there and someone had tried the job before rounded out the flats for a spanner to go on. So gas torch and angle grinder to the rescue. One way ticket... You have to win the battle once you've resorted to those extremes. I won't forget that day in a hurry! Glad you work went relatively smoothly. I used mainly Mahle German made parts for mine. Same brand can be made in China... Some other parts were TRW. It's hard to trust one single brand these days with all this off shoring and outsourcing going on
New subscriber. Your content is great! Keep those Panthers going!!!
i always use a pitman arm puller, but to remove that tie rod end from knuckle; hit the side of the knuckle tie rod is in. it vibrates it loose.
Facts, "hit what holds it".
With all that talk about banging at the beginning, I had to make sure I was on the right website...
Marvin K. Mooney 😂😂💀💀😂😂
Bro I got a headache from laughing so much gawd your hilarious I will say I'm impressed it went back together how u did it I'll never know I guess dumb luck idk but I watched it because I wanted proof that your not supposed to use junk yard ball joints to show my neighbor but you used brand new ones
uhh so I was watching this video to see if I wanted to tackle this... lol I don't have half those tools and I don't have a quarter of the know how! Off she goes! Thanks for the video though!
Excellent job!
thank you Mike I hated do this job lmao
Great video!! Thanks
Thanks I njust put it together to get people a idea on what you are getting into ( on the ground level )
Great job!
thank for that Bob this was a pain brother lol
@@bstfordchannel923 it looks like it. I really should do all of mine. 08 with 195k
great video
***** you talk like a real men, another talk about: buy a car and spend 1 million $... you are real.. i like that
When you beat the splitter in let it center it’s self and keep beating. Don’t grab and move it or you have to start over
that happened a bit i caught it.... man you telling the truth about that
I used same type of install tool on a 1989 Trans Am, the car NEVER handeled as weel as it did before, it was loose as a goose AFTER the install.
What year is this crown Victoria? I hit a fence and It went up on the curb at about 25-35 and I need to check if the steering is bent because the alignment is pretty bad now. I have an 2005 p-71 interceptor.
Good video...I have a 2000 crown victoria I'm gonna do the same work...
Build Suhmthing I'm gonna do it myself I find all the parts for both side for $249.
Can u tell me all the parts u used, I have a 04 cvpi
Wayne Bell the ball joint, tie rod inner and outer, and so other parts.
Wayne Bell thank u
Really good video. I noticed when you popped the ball joint the control arm didn't drop. Do you have a jack under it? Earlier in the video there wasn't one.
oh yes have to keep a nice jack under there just to control that lower arm and that spring
@@bstfordchannel923 I figured as much. You hid the jack from the video at that point and when ball joint dropped but arm didn't I was like uhmmmmm...
Were the joints the problem, not the bushings as well?
My stuff is sagging on the end which is on coil springs.I see rust you think it would be that also in my front the struts are on the ground basically when I take out the tire,you think it’s in need of new struts or whole new front suspension
what year do you have cause the 98-2002 they kinda sag in the rear... 98-99 i know for sure they did... You have to check your shocks and stuff, but the rear spring you need a good set ( maybe ) it depends
@@bstfordchannel923 I have a 2000 grand mercury I’m a assume springs because the height wasn’t too affected before with t the sagging now it completely sags
ok so when the ball joints flushed were good?
Im experiencing a very slight side to side steering wheel shudder around 50 mph, 2010 p7b with about 150k on it. Should I do these? Tires and alignment are good to go.
Check bushing and Tire Rods and just see are the wheels straight to.. It can be a few things, but start with the basic ( checking tire wear ) but you have 2010 that should happen unless you have cab, but even then that should not happen
@@bstfordchannel923 Tire wear is the most even Ive ever had. Need to get under there and take a look. it was a police interceptor before I had it.
nice bro
Thanks HJ when your funds are low ,well you cant take you ride to a shop... They wanted around $500 for this job - parts.
I hear you. I went to school for auto/diesel mechanic. I figured I shouldn't let that money go to waste. You was the only video I seen that showed how to press out and in the lower ball joint. I got a Towncar
Always Exploit your talents ( gifted or taught )" before somebody exploit them for you" I never went to school for this ... I am just a dude that just jump in and figure it out later ( not always good to do ).. Really? I have the only video that show you to press out bushing ( of this kind ) ??? Thats really odd, but thank you Hj for watching the video and the support also..
BST Ford Channel where are you located?? I need my ball joints done it went on one side
Need your help bro. So botched an attempt to replace the front shocks on my 07 p71. I stripped the hex bolt on the lower sway bar link. So the bolts now need to be cut to remove the link correct? Also, i screwed up the piston the pushed against the brake pads to stop the car(the piston is crack and needs to be replace)and i couldnt get it back on after screwing up the sway bar linkage. How do i compress the caliper to get it on and off?
sorry for the late text... Very sorry for that... Have no fear of those things... I am sure by now you fixed the issue...The spay bar links just cut it off and spend $20 bucks for new ones...some times they do strip if you do not plan ahead... the caliper you have to use a big screw driver to slightly compress piston on rotor to get the caliper off.. Do not get frustrated be calm ( if you get that way ) just work with it ,,
@@bstfordchannel923 havent fixed it yet, need money. But I went and got another link(got that off correctly)but then I broke the bleeder screw on another caliper off a parts car. Smh my week has been shitty. I'm just gonna get some new calipers when I get the money
@@maxie9506 either you buy new or go to the yard CRACK bleeder screw before you buy.. i done what you have done before.. Its a pain brother i know.. just plan ahead $hit thats what life is about. Planning ahead
@@bstfordchannel923 I hear ya. I researched how to get it out and I either need a torch, a welder, or a drill and screw tap which I have neither of. So new everything which is what it needs anyway is the way to go.
I read that P71s/P7Bs have greasable upper ball joints. Can anyone confirm this?
aftermarket ( yes ) not the stock stuff
do a junkyard video for your crown vics at a major yard. go on rockauto write down years/model for parts you need. gather your tools and and go to a major self pull yard. Wrightstown, NJ has one and Morrisville, PA has one.
pic a part is is near trenton, and there is a harrys u pull in 2557 Geryville Pike, Pennsburg, PA 18073 that i hear is good on the ford truck forums. lots of fords.
also if u plan to buy something u need for sure, look up on their website to see if there is a core and bring your old part incase to get back ur core $$.
Build Suhm-thing check their inventory. one of the Harry's had a lot of fords. can't remember which one guy was posting about.
Build Suhm-thing no one near u is pic a part. the other Harry's I put address above in comment.
Not much has changed since I did it over 20 years ago
I did my 98 too recently. This is the old design that goes back to the 70s and earlier. Still used on lots of big trucks.I prefer this type of suspension. Parallelogram steering. Bad BJs can pop out on these cars so now you are good for another 15 years. I installed all new moog parts and for a while the wheel had a bit of trouble returning to center, but it was very tight steering.
I needed a very heavy duty Pittman arm puller from Autozone. It locks the two arms. Used a 4' cheater to break it free.
After 2003 everything changed, Crown vic got the same suspension as a modern performance RWD car (Coilover).
Cheap parts can come back to bite in the ass, but keep them lubed you should be ok. 650 is fair I'm upstate NY albany they quoted 220 for pittman and 200 idler and 100 per tie rod at a dealer when I went for an alignment. I Did they work and then brought it back to align. Tie rods were seized in the sleeve had to do replace all. Ball joints labor $150 ish sounds right. If that work included an alignment its fair. If i couldn't fix my car I would buy new.
Carolina Man well in 03 they, thank God, replaced a lot of the steering components with rack and pinion. bout time Ford. ball joint replacement on my 07 isn't so bad.
Nice video 👍 just wondering how much about a like they called them a bootleg would charge to change Ball joints upper and lower on a 1999 Marquis? Cause Man these shops want to charge more than the car is worth. LoL 😂 any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
what i did in this video a guy said 600 bucks to do.. and i had the parts then he went down in price and said 500 lol.. so the parts are cheap the labor is the issue and there is different size ball joints ( THATS a silent issue ) doing this.. You have to get cool with a shop some how... these guys are out to get rich it seems
@@bstfordchannel923 thanks for answering my questions. I got a guy coming to look at tomorrow. Hoping he charged me around$200-225. I'll let you know when it's done if you want to. Again thank you for the video.
@@michaelwashington2682 of course i want to know how it goes... You have a great ride we rolling together Mike... I hope it goes well and 220 is very good price for you and him..
@@bstfordchannel923 Hello, just want to let you know the guy didn't show up. So I found a shop the guy just opened about three weeks ago. He did the ball joints upper and lower. And the pitman arm and idler arm was bad fixed all that for $330 dollars and yes talk about I'm so happy 😁 so have a wonderful weekend
@@michaelwashington2682 sorry for the late reply just installed a trans,,,Whoa that your mechanic from now on dude... good price and it was done quick i bet... Love to hear these stories ( its like i was there ) lol
Bro the 240 in the background tho :-) :-)
ya i used to own a s13 myself then realized panthers drift better ;-)
apart from pickle forks where and how much for lower ball joint removal tool with c clamp? ?
just rent it from your local parts store very simple that way vs buying Carl
thanks
At 7:50 you almost killed it !!!! Is the hammer necessary?
Indskab yes you have to maneuver the joints out done it a couple times
Hey man I hope you still have this account and can respond but my marquis just broke down on me a few minutes ago I was driving and it just flat broke down I have videos and pictures of the area that broke if you can leave me like a Facebook or ig or something where I can reach you I would love to know what happened to it I’m barley starting to get into fixing my own car and all I have my guess on what it is that went wrong but I want someone else’s opinion if you can plz respond thank you
If a Vic breaks down there is a few things ( if engine cut out ) fuel and spark ( some cases the mafe sensor or crank sensor WHICH cotrol the spark.. let me know what happen maybe some guys on here can help you also... click here and ask some questions and some guys will help ruclips.net/video/ZXNB1ykrZ84/видео.html

Ball joint separator tool here amzn.to/3tFuiKA
So far two broke ball joint presses 😂
