Relay (2.3 Motor):
Also called fan control switch, I recently had to find this, couldn't
find it until I made a trip to the dealer. It's under the drivers dash,
in the center, and is attached by a long (about 4 inch by 1 inch) metal
bracket & has a large 8 (or more) wire harness to it. It's brown
in color. And if you need to know around $60 from the dealer. It's made
by TRW so it's available in parts stores too. Picked one up at AutoZone
for $25. Number on relay is: E7ZB-8C609-AA. |

Quick Look at the Front Suspension A Arm:
contains the Ball Joint & Connects the Spindle to the Frame. Usually
To replace a ball joint you can replace the entire Arm, or the ball
joint ca be changed but you need a press & requires more skill. |
