Detroit Axle - Front End 12pc Suspension Kit for Ford Explorer Ranger

i got this front end suspension kit for my ride, and man, it made a big difference. the old parts were all worn out, and my car was feelin kinda rough. swapped these in, and now the steering feels tight, no more weird shakes or clunks. install wasn’t too bad, just took my time with it. everything fit like it should, no hassle. been drivin for a bit now, and it’s holdin up real good. corners feel smoother, and the whole car just rides better. if your front end is shot, this is a solid way to fix it up without breakin the bank. nothin too fancy, just good parts that do the job. definitely worth grabbin if you need a refresh.

I was pleased with the apparent quality of the parts. Everything fit and works well so far. I will be buying more parts from them. Detroit Axle - made in China 🤔

Reliable quality parts at a very reasonable price, thank you

All parts fit well and seemed to be of good quality. I was disappointed to find that the passenger upper control arm was not greaseable but the drivers side is? As well as that just not making any sense to have one side greaseable and one side not I was more disappointed to find the ungreaseable part had no grease or other lubricant in the boot which will make it wear even faster yet. Other than that Detroit axle parts will remain my go to company

Shipping company damaged package resulting in several missing parts. The Detroit Team were fantastic! Went through my order piece by piece, and were happy to ship out my missing parts. Parts are just what I needed. Thanks Detroit Axle!

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone! I bought this item because it claimed to contain all the replacement components for the worn parts on my suspension; It did not and some of the parts were of such poor quality as to be unusable. First, the stabilizers are unusable, if mine were functional , I would have just left them on the SUV. Instead, I had to purchase a new set of stabilizers from Advanced. My stabilizers were both completely shot, both ball joints on each had at least 1/8in of play. However, the new ones weren't a lot better. The grease boots on the new ones in this set wouldn't stay secured on the ball joint body, the upper one slipped off every time the joint flexed. The grease boots didn't have a retaining lip to keep it in place on a groove on the ball joint body. Thus, the ball joints would be exposed to the Texas dust and dirt, and it's doubtful that these joints would last the year. $30 to Advanced. Next, my steering tie rods also had a bunch of play also. I specifically bought this set because it came with tie rod boots to protect the steering from dust and dirt. However, once I replaced the tie rod ends, I noticed the kit didn't have boot fasteners to secure the boot ends to the tie rod or housing. I thought could reuse the retaining clamp on the small end, so of course one broke. So, $7 for CV boot tie straps and another $4 for snap on clamps for the small end. Look, if you are going to sell a comprehensive rebuild kit for suspensions, ensure that it's complete and that the quality of the components is better than what's currently on the vehicle. This kit was more trouble than it was worth. It cost almost $50 in replacement parts. Of course, now I wonder about the quality of all the other components I replaced. Definitely could not recommend! Update: I received a generic communication from Detroit Axle, no solutions and not even a sincere apology for the extract time, work and money they cost me. Below is a portion of my response to Detroit Axle. "Look, let's be realistic, a really sharp mechanic/diy-er might catch such things as missing boot bands and/or poorly designed grease boots on stabilizers upon the initial inspection. I did not! Once you break one ball joint on your vehicle, your committed to completing the job posthaste. You cannot wait for email exchanges and for Detroit Axle to make up their collect minds as to what to do with you. Given the additional fact that the original shipment was late, it's just better to bite the bullet and re-buy the parts from local parts dealers. Your product was in no way the cheapest option, but, supposedly it was the best fit for what I needed. As it turned out, your offering cost me about an additional day to complete work, I had to drive first to Weatherford (30 miles round trip) and then to Ft Worth (another 96 miles round trip), and about $50 additional costs. Detroit Axle is the expert is suspension parts and knows OEM quality and certainly knows exactly what parts are necessary to complete a particular suspension job. This is simple stuff, and Detroit Axle just seems not to take its customers' needs seriously. If my review is taken seriously, Detroit Axle should benefit in the eys of future customers. As an attorney, it always amazes me how defendant corporations use the information in plaintiff's pleading and actions for their own betterment and then feel that part of the defendant's compensation should be used internally by the defendant corporations to remake itself better and ultimately more successful."

Would recommend

Parts needed for my truck just got out in

Box arrived tattered and taped. Upon opening the taped box two parts are missing. The parts are made in China. I have had limited success with overseas casting as tensile strength is usually weaker than Mexican or US casts products. May change my rating once I install and test products.

Do not waste time or money on this product. Ball joints popped out of control arms in less than 2 days….. do not recommend.
