I have a 2000 Explorer 4wd and lower ball joint on the drivers side is squeeling realy bad. I was told to replace for $400. 00. This is just another problem I've had with this SUV. The transmission had a bad valve body gasket another $300. 00. It's only got 39000 miles. What else can go wrong. . . Sorry that's a bad question. Needless to say I'll be selling this one soon.
