RF28430001 is part I purchased but end too big which part do I need for 02 explorer xls with 16 inch rims?dearabia w.Apr 07, 2023
Best Answer:Hi Dearabia, Glad to assist you. The fitment details say it fits if your production date is from March 4, 2002, onwards. If your production date is before the mentioned date, it is incompatible. Please check the sticker on the driver-side door jamb for your vehicle to see the production date.

Mine has manufacturing date of 10/2001 15mm?Johnny P.Jun 25, 2021
Best Answer:Hi Johnny, I'm glad to help you out. Unfortunately, these are not compatible. We currently don't carry direct-fit trailing arms for the models manufactured before 3/04/2002. We suggest checking your local Mercury or Ford dealership directly on what they have available to offer you. I hope this helps and happy shopping.
