Help finding my son a new car
My sons 2000 Ford Explorer front wheel completely froze up and destroyed the brakes and there is a problem with the rear axle too. Repair cost is over $1000 and I'm not paying that. Time to look at a new car for him.

Who were the resident dealers on this site again?

Here are the cars he is looking at. Any opinions would be great as I have had it with car shopping these last few years.

The other stuff I have no clue about.
True, if he's not worried about aesthetics, a cheap steelie would work just fine.

I think this sounds like texting and hitting a curb too. Only way you would hit something that hard would be not paying attention and slamming into it.
That, or simply driving waaaay too fast for the conditions. In my 30 years of driving I've only hydroplaned to the point where I didn't have control of the car one time, and that was when I hit a giant water puddle on a highway going 50-60 mph after a heavy rain. And even then, it didn't put me into the curb.

Really depends on if it was a mountable curb or barrier curb and how high. Also angle at which he hit the curb. I have jumped curbs in my work truck at angle to get off the road and in a median out of traffic with zero problems. Most likely it was the type car and without a beefed up off road suspension. Chalk it up to young and inexperienced hopefully learn from this.

It doesn't look like that big a deal to me. All those parts except the cv shaft can be got at a salvage yard. If you're not mechanically inclined you're probably just gonna have to pay somebody. But I don't see more than a couple of days work in the driveway there.

the issue looks as though (through a short car-part.com search) not many people have the knee assembly used. the se-r is the issue.


wheel isnt too big a deal surely they have a reconditioned at LKQ, they are closed so i couldnt check.

sway bar link is 10.00
control arm is 198.00 for a genuine nissan part with ball joint. 143.00 at oreilly.
a new monroe strut is 60 bucks from o reilly

if it doesnt have ABS there is a knuckle at bee line auto salvage in wichita for 90 if it does euroasian auto in wichita has it for 65

i need a better pic of the subframe though.


inner tie rod is 22 outer is 22 both through oreilly.



just to give you an idea.

Just curious on his decision making. But no. If he's above 16, he needs to learn the value of a dollar and to take care of things.
