doing all the ball joints and steering joints as well as the axle seals on mine, you are a saint for providing all the part numbers. definitely worth a subscribe for these videos
My 2012 is currently torn down, doing the same thing, all new joints, links, seals and hubs. Also 2 1/2* caster cams to give it more castor to eliminate death wobble for good. Waiting ont a few more parts to be delivered before I can finish. In the mean time, cleaning up rust and painting it all.
I ended up finding a 8' long piece of pipe that I placed on my 3/4" breaker bar. "Give me a lever long enough and I can move the world" -B. Franklin Tightened it until it stopped turning. Then tried for 1/8" more but nothing happened. I can't give a number but I'm confident that I achieved the 405 lb ft. Thanks! @@tritanium1
I have an older model truck says 04 but it has all the makers of an 03. I have leaf springs front and back. I have super loose steering and it’s to the point I don’t feel comfortable driving. I got the front wheels off the ground and tried shaking or moving every component. Feels rock solid in at a loss.
Sounds like the unjoints need replaced in the front axle(s). Does it walk all over the road? It’s not fun. When I bought my truck I could tell they had been chasing this problem. New everything in the front end. All but unjoints. Lol. The guy said it was better but not great. Whew man I looked like a drunk driver! Lol. Replaced those and man it’s tight. On 37’s and she cruises now!
Yea if I ever own another 03-04 6.0 powerstroke I’ll be doing a video on those. Pretty similar but some smaller details with those spacers and shims on those year trucks.
@@LeftLaneDiesels yes and the track bar mounts differently and drag link and tie rod mount differently on passenger side.and most ppl dont know how important those axle thust washers are.or how to get them none of the ford dealerships had them so had to order the splicers
Love the channel! Old I know but I didn't see it in any of the videos for the front end series. Did you use an extended sway bar link/drop bracket? Also how did you adjust your track rod? Thanks and again great series/channel!
I know this is 2 years old but I see your ABS light is on and my 05 6.0 ABS light juat came on but nothing comes up on why it's on, any idea? Also very informative videos thanks for them all!
My drag link is boogered up badly on my pitman arm. Pickle fork was useless, puller and a handy dandy 3 lb sledge. Any recommendations? 2017 F350 with 141k, in Texas. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it wouldn’t budge.
Great video that’s on my list on my 6.7 but they about the same do you use motor craft parts on about all your jobs I do on the engine and filters and fluids l away try use parts that’s have grease fittings on the front in parts but I think I’ll use motor craft when do mine now these videos have help me a lot thanks
i have 46's on my 07 and a lot of lift. I'm fighting the steering wheel all day. some ppl say that it's the tires. i am hoping i can make it tighter somehow. i also have a few other questions about the motor 6.0
All I’m going to say is kryptonite… drag link, tie rod and tie rod ends. No sleeves to flex! Jam nut style. Absolute best! Use it, abuse it, their warranty is if you can manage to break it they will replace it
I’ve got an issue on my 2012 where the steering wheel doesn’t want to return to center. It is intermittent, but it gets real sketchy to drive when it does it. Almost like driving without power steering trying to fight the wheel and keep the truck straight
@@Twizztify yeah, they seemed free as best I could tell. I grease them every oil change. It’s the weirdest thing though, it just stopped doing it out of the blue. Probably change them regardless. It mostly sits in the driveway anyhow
I just did this on my 04 this weekend, installed a bluetop gearbox, and XRF ball joints and tie rods. Which style you like working on better the 03-04 or the 05-07?
They are no good! They have really gone down hill in the last 5 years. I’ve had multiple tie rod ends and wheel bearings fail prematurely. Warranty them out just to watch them fail again. OEM lasts the longest and is a superior product.
@@LeftLaneDiesels Hi. Great videos. Yours is the first I've come across even remotely addressing the track bar. I was just about to pull the trigger on all MOOG parts. 2 questions. 1. MOOG vs Motorcraft. My local mechanic says Moog is the best. But I keep reading that since they started making it china, it's crud. While it seems easy enough to do, I'm not a mechanic and I really don't want to do this again. So, is Motorcraft really the way to go even though you can't grease the fittings and it's made in china too? If so, in terms of cost, it seems worth a couple hundred extra $$ if I only do it once. 2. Does the track bar need to be replaced as well? and if so, can I just replace the ball joint and bushing? Again, I'm told locally, its not a good idea to replace only the ball joint and bushing. Thanks
@@LeftLaneDiesels sad to hear that, MOOG used to be where it was at, especially with the lifetime warranty. Such a shame Ford won’t put zirc fittings on their ball joints and tie rod ends.
I'm doing this right now with all Moog parts. I've had good luck with Moog and with 240K miles on my 2013 F250 I'm not about to spend the extra money on Ford OEM parts.

Finally someone who list all of the oem part numbers
I love that you laid out all of the parts with the part numbers - very nice!
doing all the ball joints and steering joints as well as the axle seals on mine, you are a saint for providing all the part numbers. definitely worth a subscribe for these videos
A very detailed process. Nice work!
wow think this one has all u need to know. No wasted time. really enjoyed the test drive. like n subscribe people.
Lots of new parts on that Ole truck

You are the best.I was planning to do this job this spring
I wish you resided in South Carolina. You would have a ton of business from me alone. Thank you for what you do, I greatly appreciate it.
How in the good gracious do you torque that track bar bolt to 405 lb ft? (Honest question. I haven't looked it up online.)
I torqued my replacement using a 3/4" torque wrench. They are generally about 4 feet long or longer, so you can get the leverage.

I just get the 1/2” impact and hold the trigger for about 15 seconds lol

Thanks cause mine fresh but but I need u joints
Nice work!
Safety glasses 😊
Just did my 6.0 before u started this video saga haha.first one ive done in a few yrs did everything including the plastic shims since mine is a 2003.
Yea if I ever own another 03-04 6.0 powerstroke I’ll be doing a video on those. Pretty similar but some smaller details with those spacers and shims on those year trucks.

Great video Cody
This is on my to do list, intake and then steering components
Do the steering first, the stock intake is more than enough
@@firsttimediesels6289 its really only one the section before turbo, its aftermarket and doesn't fit crank case valve
Great video, thanks! Do you have something similar for a 2000 F250 SD 7.3 RWD ?
Great video good job
Will this steering linkage component fit on a 2014 Ford f250 4x4? And are the axles the same as 05-2016

Thank you
What did you put on the treads?
What are you putting on the parts? Grease?
What is he brushing on all the threading?
What brand is your red workbench ?
Diggin those wheels, what are they?
great video thanks
Can you list the M. C. part #s. And is this a twin I beam suspension or monobeam?
What were you putting on the threads, never seize or some special rust inhibitor? Also what year truck, useless to have part numbers otherwise.
Love your videos my guy!
What are your measurements on the drag link and the bar with the tie rod ends?
I wish you were located in Los Angeles!
Just a leveling kit installed? What you running for wheel offset and tire size? Has a good stance to it.
20x12 and 35x12.50
-44 offset
Did you ever fix the tcu code or the abs light?
My drag link is boogered up badly on my pitman arm. Pickle fork was useless, puller and a handy dandy 3 lb sledge. Any recommendations? 2017 F350 with 141k, in Texas. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it wouldn’t budge.
Is there a list of the part #'s?
Good video
Quick question, if I’m doing just my track bar do I need to lift truck, axel or do I not need to lift anything?
No
Great video that’s on my list on my 6.7 but they about the same do you use motor craft parts on about all your jobs I do on the engine and filters and fluids l away try use parts that’s have grease fittings on the front in parts but I think I’ll use motor craft when do mine now these videos have help me a lot thanks
If only replacing the steering stabilizer spring would you need an alignment?
No
hey just wondering if you would be putting a 6.7 fuel pump on this truck?
What can I do to help remove tie rod at pitman arm? it won’t budge Ive tried have a tie rod fork
At least he knows how to pop them tie rods
How much you spend on part ?
Why was the ABS light still on during the test drive?
Can’t afford Ford parts. They are outrageous! You look like you are very experienced. Thanks for the help!
What is the year and size of this Ford truck?
How much is for a job like this?
i have 46's on my 07 and a lot of lift. I'm fighting the steering wheel all day. some ppl say that it's the tires. i am hoping i can make it tighter somehow. i also have a few other questions about the motor 6.0
What’s the alignment like? Check out my video on checking the components. Feel free to reach out on my Instagram @left_lane_cbull
@@LeftLaneDiesels ok I'll add u
I like using Ford OEM or Motorcraft parts but.. are those parts greaseable??
🤔🤷🙉🙈🙊🔥🌲💨💨🏁🏴☠️

@@Twizztify yeah, they seemed free as best I could tell. I grease them every oil change. It’s the weirdest thing though, it just stopped doing it out of the blue. Probably change them regardless. It mostly sits in the driveway anyhow
Where do you live? I need this done on my 05. Lol
Southern mi
No steering box ?
Wasn’t in the budget time around
Red head or blue top when the time comes ?
@@josephlabelle9148 I’ve installed both, had great success with both. Only difference is blue top is a little cheaper so that’s the route I go.
Why all the new parts ?Can’t you just get new ball joints for the tie rod and track bar drag link etc ?
You could of installed a new gear box while you had front end apart
I considered it, just wasn’t in the budget at the moment.
I just did this on my 04 this weekend, installed a bluetop gearbox, and XRF ball joints and tie rods. Which style you like working on better the 03-04 or the 05-07?
05-07 for sure!
Oops no wonder the tie rod end wasn't coming off. I was turning it the wrong way.
So motorcraft parts. Why not moog, are they no good anymore.

When you aren’t working on your trucks do you ever works on other people’s.
I do on a regular. More of just side stuff to help out buddies.

What are you applying to the threds?
What are you applying to the threds?
Would all these part numbers and instructions also be applicable to a 2015 F-350 Super Duty?
