do you not do the inner axle seals? i feel at 235k miles when you are that deep into the front end might as well do them. especially at that mileage they could go anytime.

only thing I would change is the steering box. Get one from a small specialist like red head or blue top. less money and better assembled. Ford must outsource their rebuilds, probably to a big outfit like Cardone. I put a $500 motorcraft box in a 2004 and it was jerky, still is. put a red head in another 2004 and it is the best driving super duty ive ever been in. 100% improvement. Its a joy to drive it. I just ordered a blue top for another 2004 that steers like a riding mower. Just because I like trying different parts.

Yes sir! Those "unit bearings" are crap! At least offer TIMKEN TAPERED HUBS to trucks that see cross country style hauls. You could be 750 miles from having the bearing fail & not know it. Have the family & a 5th wheel, then CHEW your bearing & brakes to death. And to not be able to check & pack your hub bearings before a big trip is a step DOWN from the early years.

Buying a NEW steering box? Buy one with ports for running hydro ram steer. With $150 - 8" ram and $50 in hoses & fittings, you now have hydro ram steer, FAR Superior. You can also offer a TIMKEN TAPERED bearing hub set up. Kinda like the BIG DOG heads, or ARP fasteners, some parts are FAR better than OEM.

A little anti seize on the new ball joints would go a long way in saving wear & tear on your ball joint installer. Considering how junky the front end parts on a Ford are, it’d also make replacing them again easier.

The oem Ford hub assembles are Timken hubs in a Motorcraft box, you can get the Timken ones for about half of the price SKF also makes good quality hubs. Moog's quality has gone way downhill in the past 10 years, I wouldn't pay the price for the Moog ones. Also the factory ball joints are Spicer ball joints which can also be bought for much cheaper than Ford.

Hey Bill. My 02 Excursion is in. Primo shape. Probably will need a complete front end rebuild. Planning on next year for that. Steering not bad for 305k but still too much slop in the wheel for me. 2 questions. 1. Do those bushings you show, apply the same to a 7.3? Also how much could I expect to spend on a complete front end rebuild of my 7.3, complete with new steering box and power steering pump? Like you I will not settle for a half ass fix. Whole ass, all the way. I need my truck to be right.

@jensenleblanc

Stingray is it a lot of smoke coming out of the oil cap? A little is normal especially on a warmed up 7.3. For example my 7.3 has none upon start but after warming up it has a very small steady amount. As far as the exhaust it should only have one single puff of white/black upon start and should stay clean under idle. Now if it is really cold it might have white looking smoke but it’s probably just steam like gas cars have. Hope this helps any further questions I can try to help if needed. Cheers

To check the u-joint lift the wheel off the ground and roll the wheel slightly forward and backward feel for a light tap as you change direction of roll can also grab axle as you rock it and make sure it is moving exactly as you roll it it shouldn't have any play at all between the two If it feels good try rocking wheel to/away from truck and see if it moves at all top-to-bottom
