Recall on lower ball joints

Not sure what year you have, but there is a recall on the LS for lower ball joints. Be sure and check it out before repair.

Go to Ford's warranty site:
http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservice/en/default?page=Home
Click on RECALLS, then enter your VIN. It'll tell you if there are any outstanding recalls on your car.

You can also call Lincoln Customer Service or your local Ford/Lincoln dealership, and they can look it up in OASIS. Lincoln Customer Service (see the Owner's Guide in the TECH ARTICLES section at the top of the forum to find the number) will do it for free, and so should your local dealership.

I have an 01 but it says there are no outstanding recalls

why would you get any type of non-warranty repair done at a dealership? .. i had to replace my knuckle too... Buy the knuckle from Team ford (see the banner on the right) and just go to a local mechanic, i got mine installed for about $75 or something, i dont remember, and the knuckle was like $200 .. so total of $275 installed

Then there were no recalls that affected your car, or the recall repair has already been performed.

The ball joint recall only applied to 2000 models. Possibly only "early build" 2000 models at that.

mine only says no outstanding so i hope i'm good to go...

I had to do both my knuckles. Easy saturday job. Cost me about $500 in parts from Max for both sides.
