    Might be the end of the road...damn

    since you are asking opinions of what I would do, I would replace the brake lines myself. parts aren't that expensive. Probably looking at a master cylinder too at this point

    Rear shock help needed 2000 expedition Awd

    shocks do nothing for ride height. Its a common misconception All they are for is dampening the action of the coil spring. You could take the shock completely out and it wont change the ride height. Of course you could not do that with the strut assembly in these vehicles but the fact remains...

    2009 Tie Rods Need to be replaced..what else should I be doing?

    I would consider replacing the shocks if you are looking for a maintenance item to replace as they wear out and protect all the other suspension components.

    2016 Expedition EL check charging system warnings 2 alternators later...

    I would not be taking it on any trip with the light on and not knowing if its charging or not. If a voltmeter shows that it is charging then fine, go on your trip. A battery charger and voltmeter wont do you any good if it dies on the side of the road. If the dealer cant get you in try an...

    Power windows please help

    I am not suggesting cutting any wires simply unplug the motor and touch the contacts with a power and ground lead connected to a battery in order to make the window go up.

    Power windows please help

    my first piece of advice is get out your owners manual and search for a power window fuse or fuses and check it (them) with an ohm meter or replace it with a known good one. I know you said you checked the fuses but exactly how did you do it? that would be my next move... if you cant figure...

    Where do you jack up your Expedition?

    this "supposed" test is not just to test the housing. It is to test the axle assembly as a whole. After the test, the parts are removed, inspected many ways in the metrology lab including CMM and other analysis sometimes, the axle is put on a vehicle and ran through a battery of on the vehicle...

    Crooked Truck

    that's not the proper way to measure ride height the proper way is to measure from the center of the wheel hub to the lower edge of the fender directly above it. this eliminates any variances in the tires my guess is you have a sagging or weak spring or possibly a rotted body mount

    Crooked Truck

    when I ran a alignment rack the first thing I would do is measure ride height and compare it to specs.
