- In this video, I completely replace all the parts on the front of my F-350 to try and repair a rattling sound. The parts I used in the rebuild include new Duralast ball joints, MOOG wheel bearing hub assemblies, MOOG tie rods, and Spicer driveshafts with Spicer U joints.

This is one of, if not the, best video I've seen on this job. No gibber jabber. No obnoxious music. Clear shots of the work being done with a tripod held camera. 10/10.
As far as UA-cam videos go this is the best of the best. Best installation video I've ever seen. Beautiful work. Camera no talking useful subtitles. So good. So good
Thank you very much. I truly do appreciate the positive feedback
Probably the best tutorial video I’ve seen! Very informative and lots of detailed explanations…excellent job! Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot 👍🏻🫡
Thanks for watching and commenting, really glad it helped
Idk how this doesnt have 1m views bro awesome work
Hey thank you, I really do appreciate the comment
Hopefully I don't have this job coming my way any time soon ~ but I am saving this video in case it does. 10/10
Awesome too see this full job. Good stuff man
Thanks you and thanks for watching
Man your going to a whole new front end let me know how it feels and drive’s. Great job 👏
Fine work! Thanks for sharing all the details of the repair!
Welcome!
Good to see you back!
thank you!
great job THanks for the video ! will come in handy when I rebuild my 2002
glad it helped!
Much respect Sir. Great job and video.
Second! Welcome back on UA-cam man, good to see you back!🥳 Hoping for some riding videos soon😜
I just replaced my entire steering system and now it feels like a new truck and ready for another 200K miles. I feel your steering system connects you to tye truck and you can feel every little problem. I also adjusted my steering gear box. Now I have zero play.
Hey Brother big Big Greatings and welcome Back on UA-cam 🤜🤛👍👍👍🔥💯🔥 love your Channel and Videos so mutch 👌🔥 Keep it up and lets go for New Videos 🔔👍
Same color as mine 2002 350 crazy.
What a gratifying rebuild once accomplished. Expensive and time consuming but they do ride nice once they are rebuilt.
still so much cheaper than a new one!!! how you been? how is winter up North?
@@trailblogger r u going to upload some of u riding ur raptor 700
yessssss definitely!
@@trailblogger it has been -10 to -20 for the last month and I’m doing everything not to get surgery right now. Getting better but my neck ribs and shoulder on the left side are having a rough time due to scar tissue build up from injuries. How has the southern life been. Haven’t been on here much lately.
just living the life! man that sounds rough, i hate surgery too but might be best to just get it over with?
😢 I must as well. It’s like that. Ball joints cv axel drive train - hub assemble (bearings)
I know this video is 2 years old how are those duralast ball joints holding up? I need to do the same thing to my 2003 king ranch was curious what your review is on those and how they are doing? Also curious why did you go with moog on tie rods and bearings and duralast on the ball joints?
Great so far. Steerings straight as an arrow
Nice work. lets see how she does in the trails now! lol
next video, f350 full send
@@trailbloggerthat would get views lol
Okay, willing to share how the moog hub assemblies are holding up? Got all the parts but was holding off on the hubs. Thinking I should do them while I have it all apart. But dont want to fork out another 6-700 for Timkens or motorcraft but want quality.
So far so good! All components have held up good. She drives nice and straight, I can drive it down the road with one finger on the wheel. I did have to replace my hydro booster recently, not sure if it was due to the tight steering components and larger tires but we are back on the road now
Old school hand tools. I just had a quote (which I paid $69.00 for) of $5,000 for a complete front end replacement including a new steering gear ⚙️ box. Well they gave me a detailed list of what I need. Bought everything except the gear ⚙️ box for $164. On Ebay. 😁
LOL I like MOOG and they have an autozone at the end of the street so I can't complain when it's in stock and nearby!
@@trailblogger MOOG has a bad rap lately, a mix of counterfeit crap on Evil-Bay and the quality control has landed in the dumpster... I use Spicer for all OEM parts ...
I just saw a video also where they carved a Moog in half and it was plastic inside... Might change brands also. The u joints i use are spicer
I was previously a moog fanboy. Around 2017 they started to feel and look different. This past year I did a complete rear end rebuild on my grand prix using moog and nothing felt as sturdy as OEM. Keeping it off my truck...wish me luck doing this and the internal dana60 seals this weekend. Not looking forward to the track bar ball joint
I can only imagine what you paid for all theseparts locally though. I spent roughly 2000 online
Where did you find information on the various torque specs for everything? I am about to start this exact rebuild on my 04 with all of the same exact parts.
sorry I dont recall now it has been awhile but I think I gathered the torques online and from youtube videos
How have those ball joints held up over the years?
Still driving straight as an arrow with nice even tire wear on the all terraina. Haven't take it off road much though.
@@trailbloggerawesome, not worried about off road myself so that sounds good thanks for the reply great video!
@Doug1637 welcome! Just did the oil pump on this same truck, there is an upgraded one available by Welling and mine was leaking like crazy. No video unfortunately
Must be nice to work on a clean truck. I live in the salt belt , so rust is everything
Where did you get your parts from. I couldn't even get the right SKU numbers from the dealership. Apparently Ford doesn't keep these parts in stock anymore for a 2000. Thats what the part person at the local Ford Dealer told me. It toke me 3 days of searching the internet to find most of what l needed and still my truck had different parts inside the axle.!
O Reilly here in northern california carries some motorcraft and Spicer, some parts also came from autozone and amazon. Riff raff diesel also carries parts for our rigs. Also can check rock auto they have a ton of parts. Hope this helps
What? No 1/2" impact wrench? wHAT TIME OF THE morning are you working on this?
LOL that would have been a huge time saver. I only had my air impact at this time and my air compressor hose had a hole in it
@@trailblogger They do sell a repair kit for the hoses. It's a barb fitting with hose clamps. Easy-peasy....I do admire the old school adjustable wrench (only bc the hose was inoperable) to force out the u-joints...
@@patrickwhelan5703 this hose was toast, split and bubbled in a few spots. Harbor freight cheapo brand
Your differential didn't leak after pulling the axles from the tubes?
Not that I recall no. Maybe I should check that fluid
@@trailblogger I'm curious, right now I have a situation where it leaks on one side and I really cant afford doing both sides right now. I'm wondering if i can pull the axle out on the side that's not leaking in order to change the inner axle seals on my differential, or if I'll HAVE TO change both at the same time.
For this job, I worry it'll be a waste if I don't change BOTH of those inner seals.
I'm already changing a lower ball joint, on one side only.
Basically, both axles have to be removed, or at least pulled out of the differential, for the ring gear to come out and change the seals. I've already got one seal, but I worry the other will tear if I remove it, then I'll fix the side that was leaking but create the same problem on the other side.
On mine, I could smell gear oil on the hub. It's all wet/grimy all around the hub and the knuckle
What happened, I went to change a single lower ball joint, and to my horror discovered not only my inner axle seals on the differential were leaking, but the oil already destroyed the rubber in my vacuum seal, and was getting all into my hub bearing.
I'm working on a 2000 SD 4X4. I like your video, but I'm a little surprised you didn't do the inner axle oil seals inside the differential, as mine is leaking without even pulling the shaft (also 320k miles).
@@trailblogger I'd love to know if yours ever leaked. If they didn't, there's a good chance I'll get away with pulling the axle just enough to be able to remove and install the two inner diff axle oil seals, and i can save the ball joints on the other side for another time
@@samuelrivas3943 if it did, it was very little. it very well could have dripped some on the gravel and I just didnt notice late at night working in the dark with a flash light. I have never done the diff fluids on this truck. feeling like it would be a good time to check it now lol
Hay man what kind of hammer is that?
Do you mean the short, yellow handle sledge? I am not sure, found it in my great grandfathers stuff who was a machinist. Looks kind of home made and the metal is soft like lead
FIRST 😜
ha thanks Nir!
