In this video we go through the process of inspecting and replacing the universal joints on a Ford Excursion ( also applies to Super Duty pickups).

This was done because I was experiencing a slight hum/vibration when accelerating and replacing the rear u-joint cured the issue.

    Lets be honest. You skipped over that bottom caliper bracket bolt thats inside the control arm bracket because your socket wrench wouldn't fit. It's U shape making a 1/4 inch driver too big too fit in the space. I recommend a smaller 1/4 inch driver to get it started.

      Accident number one was repaired at the dealer, accident number two was a couple of years later and was repaired at an independent paint and body shop. You are correct, if combined together, those two bills are worth more than the vehicle!.

    I dropped the screw down into the door when I was unscrewing it. Now I don’t have a replacement screw to attach the piece I ordered! Will I have to take the door apart to get it or can I just use a regular screw that fits?

    I had the same situation. After 2 days of trying every suggestion on You-tube, I decided to leave the old oil filter on the vehicle and just put in fresh oil. That will have to do until the next oil change. I will then take the vehicle to an oil-change shop and let them worry about it.
