'98 Expedition suspension schematic?

[Poochie]

Hi All

I'm posting this for my 76 year old father who owns the Expedition. He just had the truck in to the dealer to fix some horrible noises coming from the front end which turned out to be worn out sway bar bushings. The truck sounds much better now! He would like to see a schematic for the front suspension on the truck. Would anyone have one that they could scan in and email to me? He will never be working on this truck himself, so it doesn't make much sense to buy a factory manual for it.

Cheers,
Ken

I've attached it in a MS Word document.

Let me know if you can find/open.

I just had to replace the sway bar bushings on mines, with just 50k miles. It is a easy process and the part was less than $25. I would like a copy of that manual also, if you don't mine.
Thanks

Looks like I need another coffee, F150. I can't seem to find the attachment.

I'm feeling a little dumb right now......

The front suspension upper arm is a single wishbone type. It contains the upper ball joint and is replaced as a unit.

The front suspension lower arm is a solid die cast arm. It contains the lower ball joint and is replaced as a unit.

The torsion bars connect the front suspension lower arm to the torsion bar adjuster. The torsion bar adjuster allows setting of the proper ride height. Torsion bars are not interchangeable; the ends are stamped R for the right side or L for the left side.

The front wheel knuckle connects the front suspension upper arm and front suspension lower arm ball joints. It controls lateral movement and pivots to allow steering. It holds the disc brake caliper (2B120) and the wheel hub.

The front stabilizer bar is connected to both front suspension lower arms and controls side roll.

For additional information on vehicles equipped with 4-wheel air suspension, refer to Section 204-05B .
