mine is a 2001 4X4 with rear drums. 220,000 miles original owner. do not believe the self adjust brakes or auto adjust will advance the brake shoes to compensate for wear. I thought so. However another ST fan advised to adjust the rear with drums/shoes to compensate for wear of the rear...

2001 ST. Saturday, driving in town, approached a stop sign the brake pedal had pressure, then went to the floor. Mashed the parking brake, the ST stopped in time. Limped it into the parking lot at that corner. The drivers side front flex brake hose gave way and ALL the FLUID went out the hose...

There are many problems in the world. After 48 years of marriage, and all was great, then cancer and in the last 9 months, for us there was but one problem. All the issues I thought were important were minimal as we fought this. Give your kids and loved ones a hug. time is so precious and so...

It is a 2001 ST. 4 liter. So at 206,000 miles the idler pulley goes bad. However the ST is in a parking lot 2 miles from home. From someone that has swapped out one of these what is the process?? Can this be done in the parking lot with common hand wrenches?? Is the idler pulley bolt left...

the 2001 ST had a bad flex brake line, passenger side, ftont. Attempting to remove the flex hose caused it to shear off the hard line (chassis side). Bought a 3/16 brake line, 40" long at O'Riely's. Bent the tube to resemble the old line. Some slack on the new line but did some routing to...

So the 2001 ST would not idle, symptom occurred all of a sudden. would run good at cruise speed (2,000 RPM). No "check engine" light. Cleaned the throttle plate and intake as far as I could reach. Inspected for any obvious loose hoses and such. To no avail. The shop ID'd the problem as the...

O.K so the exhaust of the 2001 ST sounds GOOD (it kind of rumbles), however the problem is a serious leak/failure somewhere behind the cat. Has anyone done a Borla or Magna Flo or Flowmaster or Dyno Max or other install from the cat back. Not looking for any increase in HP (but would accept...

For my 2001 with the sun roof. Having a thaw here in Iowa and the melting snow on the roof was causing a leak, drivers side, back seat, on the inside plastic molding just below the clothes hanger bar. Water was slow but consistent drip. Today took off the roof rack. Lots of dirt and crud...

Got a 2001, had it since 2003. oh, yeah 201,220 miles so now I'm on my second set of rear brake shoes (brake drums). the front brake pads (disc) have been replaced probably four times (always DIY). Prior I had a Ford Ranger, similiar set up, front disc, rear drum. On that truck the wear on...

Needed to replace the front calipers on the 2001 S-T. O'Reilly did not have any and it would be a special order. Auto Zone did have calipers on hand. These were calipers only, the brake pads were on hand at the store. Also bought a brake hose for the passenger side. For both sides the...

Trying to replace the rear spring shackles on my 2001 ST. Got the bolt out of the spring/shackle. However the bolt that connects the shackle to the frame is frozen (rusted) in the tube that holds the bushing. The whole assembly spins in the frame. The outer metal tube ring that hold the bushing...

Attempting to replace the oil seal on the drivers side, front diff where the C.V.axle goes into the diff. Have the C.V. axle hanging loose, it is clear of the wheel bearing and any thing else. Researched the procedure in the projects section and followed the steps. Did replace the same side...

Replaced the tie rod ends and both sway bar links. about 2 hours. These are wear-replace items on any vehicle. For an entry level these are doable and unlike the factory units the tie rod ends have grease zerks. My ST has 188,000 (pulling trailer and long cross country) and the time to...

Finished the CV axle and wheel bearing (4 X 4) yesterday. About 4 hours. First ime on these items. Big thanks to the response for help I posted earlier. A word to the wise if the CV axle needs to be replaced, it is good time to do the shocks and the brake rotor and pads. Also if there is a...

Need to replace front wheel bearing (4 X 4). Checked the project section and found the CV/half axle project. This project gets close to the wheel bearing. Has anyone replaced the bearing?? Seems like the half axle can be replaced at the same time once the whole side is opened up. Any help...
