What's a 2004 Ford heritage other than a trim package?

If your replacing all that and the sway bar link pins and bushings why not toss in a Pittman arm!!!! What's that about $100 more and an hour labor?
Might need a new steering shaft joint too......

The heritage is a totally different truck. Body style, engines, suspension, etc... |

Isn't a Heritage really just a 2003 with a 2004 title? It still had the old school linkage vs a rack like in 2005. I have not personally worked on a 2007 up GM trucks steering, that I want to remember, as I was referring to pre 2000 trucks (w/ drag links) that had movement in the ball joints when new.

2- upper ball joints are above the lower ones 3- I would only replace it if it needs replaced it costs more to replace for some reason than if you don't replace it 4- rotate the air in all four tires, that front air has been tuned to hitting pot holes, now that your not going to hit them any more it just will not drive right. 5- Blinker fluid is optional as are muffler bearings. See, now you don't have to watch a video ! |

Sorry I didn't respond to the questions... I was in the middle of the work and when I didn't get a response for a couple of hours I just went ahead and left it in. But to answer SAUTO's question, yes it has struts. This is not the Heritage, it is the 5.4L V8. I don't think it was bad so just left it. If I end up tearing it apart later so be it. The other side went way quicker than the first side since I knew what I was doing. First side probably took me 5 hours while the second side took me about half that. I did also have to change the 4wd actuator on the first side though. Although it was only 3 bolts to take it off since it was all tore apart anyways. The actuator had actually split around the ring from corrosion. The center part of the ring was basically dust.
Is there some trick to getting the anti lock brake sensor off? I ended up breaking part of the first one off after I took the screw out and tried prying it off. I just left it after that as I didn't want to really damage it. I just left it connected and got a bucket for the hub piece to sit on so it wasn't putting 25 pounds of weight on the cable.

you just unplug the other end of the sensor from inside the fender well and leave the sensor itself in the hub bearing... i put an actuator on one of those last thursday in less than 15 minutes |
