Replaced the position 2 and position 3 body mounts on 2002 Ford Explorer XLT. In video I actually called it a Sport model by mistake (that was my previous restoration project)
Thanks, very helpful. I'll be doing the same on my Dad's 2003 XLT soon, and this will be a great reference. Nice to know that I can probably get by with just replacing the 4.
Ian, thanks for the video! It went just as you said. I tried to get that third one off without using a bottle jack but when I’d hammer on the bolt the floor jack would roll. The bottle jack trick worked perfectly! Luckily, my neighbor is a heavy machinery mechanic and has every tool know to man. 2002 Explorer with 327k.
Muy buen trabajo..y alguien puede indicarme donde conseguir o comprar..acá en Ecuador es difícil y venden alternos de muy mala calidad..y el juego que precio tendria..o por unidad. !!
Thanks for the video great info. Did this resolve any vibrations when driving? I have a pretty big vibration at 70 and I have changed all suspension components, tires, and wheels. Only other thing I have is body mounts, which are gone, and checking u joints. Without pulling out the driveshaft, visually the u joints look good. Since I can see the body mounts are gone, that seems to be my next guess.
Thanks for the reply, but I've already put all new suspension all around. Guess I'll be pulling off my drive shaft to check the u joint. Do you guys know if the body mounts for the sport track are completely different? They make polyurethane ones for those for about $125 for all of them.
Your a legend cheers from Australia

It's a tricky job that takes some improvising. I'm glad this video helped you to keep another older Ford on the road.
What brand of body mount bushing did you use? Dorman? Where did you.buy it? Need to replace mine soon. Thanks to you for this spot on video.
Dorman was the only brand I could find. Got 2 from RockAuto and 2 from AutoZone. Did not find a vendor that had all four in stock.
Thank You for the video
Glad it helped!

Best thing to do is get it on a lift and see where the play in the suspension is.

@@adamaronovski8857 Correct, the are different and have different part numbers. Unlike the base, I believe you can buy them as a full set.
Are the positions the same for passenger side?
Correct
What brand of body mount bushing did you use for this explorer? Do you recommend that brand? I could only find the Dorman brand online.
Dorman was the only brand I could find as well. Got 2 from RockAuto and 2 from AutoZone
@@ians7832 so you just replaced mounts positions 1-4? Position 5 mounts are okay?
@@moldexproductsincofficial I replaced position 2 and 3 on each side.
That's a brake line.
Appreciate you pointing this out. Wasn't sure.
What torque should be given
