99 xlt front end

[popeye]

Hi, My wife backed into the drive way and the front passenger side wheel buckled {the top of the tire is in toward the vehicle} Is this ball joints? any help greatly appreciated. If it is ball joints how big of a job is it.
thanks

sounds like upper control/ball joint The Upper control arm can be purchased including ball joint. You would need a few special tools but they can be had as loaner tools from advanced auto or auto zone. Check Moog.com to see the parts you need and if your interested in moog parts let me know and I'll send you the name of a seller on e-bay as hid prices are better than most parts stores plus he offers free shipping

Look on you tube for videos on how to change front end parts just type in "replacing Ford expedition upper control arms" in the search box
The video by 1Aauto is a good one to watch
