To free that steering knuckle, I flipped the nut upside down to protect the threads (you never know if you'll need to stop for some reason or another and put it back together), then I used a propane hand torch on the knuckle to expand it a little bit. No hammers were working, so I used a 25lb dumbbell that I randomly had in my garage. That dumbbell is perfect for the tight space, and it allows you to get two hands on it and really throw it up with good momentum.
Terrific videos on the front suspension on the Fusion! I’m curious what kinds of replacement parts do you use? How did they hold up thus far? Where do you buy them? Thanks
Stupid design for the rear control arm bolt. They should have designed an indent or hole for clearance for removing the bolt. That's Ford/Lincoln engineers for you always thinking of the tech that has to repair it lol ;)

Just get motorcraft
How do you diagnose the ball joints for replacement?
I'm sure you want to hear from Scott...But for me? Torn boots are all I need to see.
Como puedo obtener la traducción al español.
i didn't see in the video why you kept track of that initial measurement.
Thats for ur alignment
Hard to follow with the camera not facing the parts haha
Part 2
In short I'm going to my mechanic
What a piece of sh*t horrible design. Lowering the sub frame some is bs. Thanks for the video dude. Good job.
Why not just burn out the bushings and replace them. The steel doesn’t go bad. Save big $ no?
Cant replace the ball joints on these
18 mm fit for me..

Poor video..cannot see what you are doing....
Lack of details , the main thing is to show how to remove the inner side.
Anyway!
Bought a Honda , Ford cars are garbage
