Replace front lower control arm bushings
You might try freezing the new bushings. This will stiffen and shrink the rubber, and slightly shrink the aluminum casting. I would only do this if all else fails as there is always a chance of damaging the rubber, although these vehicles operate in environments much colder than your freezer...- Bill Wade

Cylinder 5 misfire even with new coil !
Check the plug. I chased a #8 misfire for far too long believing the plug was good because the dealer just changed all 8. I finally went back to troubleshooting 101, pulled the plug and found the ground strap missing. Replaced the plug and all was well. Bottom line, don't discount simple solutions.- Bill Wade

Adjustable Pedals broken?
I am very interested. Please send me info to [email protected]. Any issue with problem migration switching from plastic to brass? Either way, I definitely would like more information as I need to repair my Expedition and would prefer not to change the brake pedal assembly!- Bill Wade
