This video shows you how to install a lower ball joint on your 2001-2007 Ford Escape. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.

This repair was done on a 2006 Ford Escape XLS 2.3L and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2001 Ford Escape
2002 Ford Escape
2003 Ford Escape
2004 Ford Escape
2005 Ford Escape
2006 Ford Escape
2007 Ford Escape
