Best Moog Econoline Premium Ball Joint Kit 1

Produced in multiple design variations for both retail and commercial sale, the E-Series was developed as a van for either cargo or passenger use, and as a cutaway van chassis and stripped chassis (a chassis without bodywork).

Since the 2015 model year, only the latter two designs are offered, as Ford replaced E-Series vans with the Ford Transit. From 1980 to 2014, the E-Series van was the best-selling full-sized van in the United States.^[3]

The model line entered its 60th year of production for 2021, second only to the Ford F-Series (in production since 1948) within Ford Motor Company in terms of longevity.

The E-Series is assembled by Ford at its Ohio Assembly facility at Avon Lake, Ohio, which has produced the model line since 1975. Prior to its closure, Lorain Assembly in Lorain, Ohio, assembled the model line from 1961 to 2005.

Powertrain

At its 1992 launch, the fourth-generation carried over its powertrain line from the third-generation model line (sharing it with the ninth-generation F-Series). A 4.9L inline-six was standard, with a 5.0L V8, a 5.8L V8 offered as options.

On 250 or 350-series vans, a 7.5L V8 and 7.3L Navistar diesel V8 were also optional; the diesel became turbocharged in 1993. During 1994, the IDI diesel was replaced by a 7.3L Ford Powerstroke diesel V8 (also sourced from Navistar).

For 1997, the E-Series underwent a revision of its engine lineup, retaining only the 7.3L diesel.

Sharing its gasoline engines with the tenth-generation F-Series, a 4.2L V6 replaced the inline-6 and a 6.8L V10 replaced the 7.5L V8. The 5.0L V8 and the 5.8L V8 were replaced by 4.6L and 5.4L V8s, respectively.

For 2003, the 7.3L diesel was replaced by a 6.0L diesel from Navistar.

While gaining an intercooler over its predecessor, due to the lack of airflow in the engine compartment (compared to Super Duty trucks), Ford had to detune the E-Series version of the 6.0L V8.

For 2004, the 4.2L V6 was dropped and the 4.6L V8 became the standard engine, making the E-Series the first American full-size van with a V8 engine standard.

The 6.0L Power Stroke was offered until 2009 in the Ford Econoline vans (model year 2010), even though Ford Super Duty trucks were upgraded to the 6.4 version in 2007.

Diesels were no longer offered after the 2010 model year. For 2009, the E-Series gained flexible-fuel capability with 4.6L and 5.4L engines (allowing them to use E85).

In May 2014, the final 4.6L V8 was produced for the E-Series, with the 5.4L V8 becoming the standard engine for 2015.

For 2017, the 6.8L V10 replaced the 5.4L V8 as the standard engine, with a 6.2L V8 becoming the optional engine; along with flex-fuel capability, both engines were offered with options for conversion to CNG or LPG/propane.^[19]

For its 2021 model year revision, the E-Series adopts the 7.3L V8 of the Super Duty truck as the only engine option, offered with an option for conversion to CNG or LPG/propane.^[20]

Chassis specifications

The fourth-generation shares the VN platform of the third-generation Econoline, introduced in 1975.

Sharing many components with F-Series trucks, the E-Series retained the “Twin I-Beam” front suspension used by rear-wheel drive Ford trucks in North America from the 1960s to the early 1990s.

The rear suspension was a live rear axle with rear leaf springs.

For the 2008 model year, the chassis underwent its largest revisions of the fourth generation.

In an effort to improve handling and safety, larger brakes were added, improved steering, rollover stability control, and a higher GVWR.^[17]

The twin I-beam layout was retained, making it the second last Ford vehicle to use it.^[18]

Chronology
Successor	Ford Transit

For the 1992 model year, Ford introduced the fourth generation of the Econoline/Club Wagon.

While the third-generation chassis was largely carried over, the body and interior underwent a complete redesign.

The vehicle has received several revisions during its production, with the most recent taking place in 2021.

Toward the end of the 1990s, Ford began to phase out the use of the Econoline and Club Wagon nameplates.

For 1999, the Club Wagon nameplate was discontinued (in favor of Econoline Wagon).

After the 2000 model year, the Econoline was renamed the E-Series, a nomenclature closer to that of Ford’s full-size F-Series trucks.

In June 2014, production of E-Series passenger and cargo vans was discontinued as sales of the Ford Transit began in North America.

From the 2015 model year onward, the E-Series has remained in production solely in cutaway and stripped chassis configurations.^[16]

For 2002, Ford introduced the E-550 Super Duty as the highest-GVWR version of the E-Series.^[21]

Offered solely in a cutaway-cab design,^[21] the E-550 was intended to bridge the gap between the pickup truck-derived F-450/550 Super Duty and the F-650 medium-duty trucks.

Sharing a number of chassis components with the F-550 Super Duty, the E-550 was distinguished by a grille styled in line with Super Duty pickup trucks (with a three horizontal slots between two vertical openings).

To accommodate the wider, heavier-duty front axle, the van body was fitted with a larger front bumper and plastic fender flares (shared with the F-550 truck).

Several wheelbases were offered, ranging between 159.5 inches and 233.5 inches; as with the Super Duty and the E-350/450, the E-550 was powered by either a 6.8L V10 or a 7.3L V8 turbodiesel.^[21]

Following the 2003 model year, Ford ended production of the E-550.
