The Expedition, now with 183,000 HARD miles (294,000Km) on it needs ball joints and tie-rod ends. It shares the front-end with the same era F-150, which loved eating through front-end parts and we've got surprisingly good service out of them quite frankly, particularly given how it is driven.
The wife was wanting to get rid of it and her car and buy a new Durango but I don't want to get rid of the truck, and told her as much. Despite its incredible thirst for fuel, it owes us absolutely nothing and has been very inexpensive to own.
looks like it needs passenger-side outer tie-rod end and upper and lower ball joints on both sides. We just had the left-rear axle seal done before the winter.
Also, the trans cooler line is weeping, so that needs to be replaced as well. Looks like the Canadian winters have gotten to it.
No huge rush on getting it done, it doesn't get driven in the summer anymore. Any other stuff I should be looking at? Rad is new, brakes are new, brake lines look OK, rear suspension looks OK, shocks are about 5 years old now?
