Yep, I'm a member there. I have found some really helpful info there when I was trying to figure out how to repair some widget. But, like any auto forum, you gotta double check what folks are telling you. Explorer forum was really helpful when I was changing the cam synchronizer.
What guys sometimes don't think about is that even though a vehicle may have low miles all of those rubber/plastic suspension parts crap out simply from age. All of the boots on the ball joints split open and the lower control arm bushings were cracked and hard as a rock. Changing the lower ball joints was no fun at all.
Some fairly recent pics underneath.
Torsion bar removal.
Original lower a arm getting new bushings.
New inner and outer tie rods, sway bar link.
Discovered how all those seals and bushings crapped out on my wife's Toyota recently. Rack and pinion was replaced by someone with a lift and a warranty. My days of sliding under vehicles is way back in the rearview mirror. 60k on an '05 seemed worth it.
