2007 Ford Expedition Rear Crossmember Parts Q&A

• Q: How is the Rear Crossmember Serviced on 2007 Ford Expedition?

  A: You should start rear cross-member service by setting the vehicle on a hoist in neutral gear. The skid plate requires removal by detaching its fasteners whenever present. The crossmember requires detachment of all fasteners from both left-hand and right-hand exhaust heat shields before moving forward. You need to remove both transmission roll bolts then refasten them with torque at 76 lb-ft (103 Nm). Before reinstalling the frame bracket support the transmission and apply a mark to the transmission crossmember which will help in proper positioning. Secure the crossmember nuts inside facing the front direction of the vehicle onto the crossmember bolts. Lift the transmission crossmember by undoing its four bolts distributed across the two sides and reinstall it afterwards ensuring a 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque on the bolts. The installation ends with moving towards the opposite direction of the removal stage.
