I Bought a Broken Mint 1998 Ford Explorer for $500 Can we Fix it?

shock absorbers, yes, but I mean, we took something that was

broken

that hasn't worked in years and years and in a few hours it's there. On the highway driving at highway speeds yeah what more do you want man? Okay, I guess we're going back to the house, well, we're heading back. I guess we could look for leaks now. We never bother to check for fuel leaks. Yes, I just left, I just entered and left hope for the best. I don't smell any fuel or anything, it smells like there's a lot of something burning, you know since I'm sitting there.

Yes, I would be very curious to know what is going on. Continue with the uh with the front end because when you turn, especially the more sharply you turn, you can feel like something is getting stuck a little bit, you know, it smells like gas, not to me, not even the air conditioning works very well, nice and what do you look at? , we can have. a conversation this is amazing under the hood of this is that crazy I'm happy with it it's going to need a little bit you know pressure in the cooling system yeah good solid pressure um yeah I don't knowFirst thing I want to do and I'll do it out Of camera.

We're about to close this video, but I'm going to check the rest of the wheels, maybe check the tire pressure could be very low in the air, but I definitely want to. To check and make sure all the nuts are tight because that was a little sketchy, we went around that quarter and it just started doing this, it was like a death wobble, um, oh, it's smoking, I see smoke, yeah, it's this feeling or not like curved, yes, like a little, I know, you know, I think so, I think this wheel may be this wheel looks like this, yeah, I wonder where that smoke comes from, oh no, what no, I'm kidding, uh, sway bar on the links. the bushings are missing completely gone and it's rack and pinion it looks like yes rack and pinion steering so you will definitely need to check the suspension this could all just be very worn suspension yes it could have bad ball joints bad tie rods . uh, and all that would do, maybe even strong shocks anyway.

I'm not, uh, I'm not upset, let's see if it bounces and stops. It bounces around a bit, yeah, it probably needs a few shocks too, and of course it's on fire. exhaust stuff and everything but 105,000 M

1998

Explorer that this has been working, so yeah, I'm not upset with all this. I think it was a lot. I still need to resolve the battery situation. The battery is not suitable for it, but it is not that bad. It's a win, you want to drive it from city to city, why are you shaking your head? No, no, yes, no, we, I think we have to do a little more.

I'm happy with this for today. this video is great we got it working we took it for a spin we got to highway speeds I'm happy with this video that's all I could have asked for uh we'll be back in another video we'll get Go back to the elevator we'll get it up in the air and check the front suspension because I have a feeling I'm going to need to order a front end kit for this and do some work on the suspension but overall. I think it was a good day, Mike, it was a really good day.
