I like the Ford escape and explorer videos. You seem to do more Chevys. I've been watching you for a year now. I'm thinking of supporting monthly. I do appericiate all the great tips you share. Awesome work Eric. Good luck keep up the great videos. Hope to see more Ford escapes and explorers.

Great video on how to. I have the same ford and decided to do the work myself after being quoted almost 600 for the job including an alignment. do I really need an alignment after changing both ball joints? I doubt it but your help would be welcomed. Thank you. Marcos

My lower ball joints almost got me killed in my Escape, driving all the sudden I lost control the wheels are fighting each other scary as hell to me, hope this will not cost me a shit ton of money to have a mechanic fix for me, I think I'll just by 2 new Control arms.

Thank you. Awesome video! Do you happen to have the pinch bolt torque spec for this specific vehicle? I am currently changing the front lower control arms on my 2011 Ford Escape, and the pinch bolt torque is proving elusive. Thanks again!

Hi, good video my friend.
Question?
The tool you you use for the lower control arm. the big metal orange color or something?
What's the real name Tool for that?
Thank u again. nice videos. .

I love that slotted drill bit that held the sandpaper. I want one. But I'm having a hard time Googling such a thing cause I don't know what to call it. Slotted drill bit is giving me nothing relevant.

I would never be a mechanic in the rust belt. I would HATE to have struggle with every bolt. I'm so glad I live in southern Arizona. So dry, no salt. Bolts come out as if it just came out of the factory.

A lot of rust for a 2011 car. Im also thinking the extra labor on knocking out and pressing in the ball joint might just be worth getting a new control arm with new joints already built in.

I have a 2015 Ford Escape AWD 2. 0
I was looking for a ball joint in Autozone and Advance but they dont have it, they have the arm. Where can I but the ball joint to my car.

I would turn the steering and then pound something into the pinch or pry a little with a prybar while prying down on the control arm. Pops them right out less pounding.
