took vehicle back to dealer showed problem, dealer had no answer for problem but could not understand how i found problem. i told him i was rotating tires and found torn upper ball joint boots. took vehicle in next day and they replaced both upper control arms with ball joints already installed. but now they will not pay for alignment. this procedure should be done and i dont understand why i should pay for an alignment, this also should be warranty. i am still going to look into this. if you own a 2004 explorer with this type of mileage you should check your ball joints.
