Lower Control Arm Replacement 01 Ford Escape

This video was made to be a visual aid in assisting you in you project of replacing a lower control arm on a 01 Ford Escape. This design has been used on the Ford Escape for many years and they commonly fail in a similar fashion. (torque specifications may vary from year to year) I believe that you'll find that this video extremely helpful in your project. If you have questions please comment below. I usually respond within a 24hr period of time. Good luck!

Note: The method shown in the video for separating the outer tie rod end from the steering knuckle is a method that I've used for years with no problems. However, I do not guarantee that you will not damage your vehicle using this method. There is a tool out there called, a "tie rod end separator". The use of this tool can greatly help in separation of the outer tie rod end without causing damage.

Here is a link to a video showing the use of this tool.
