2009 4.6 O2 sensors...............

[MADDMOE]

....anyone change their own O2 sensors on a 2009 4.6......I have the OEM sensors to replace them but just want to know if there are any major or minor issues with replacing them.......I just replaced my spark plugs, added new Goodrich braided brake lines, new rotors & pads and bled the brake system......have new tires sitting here but would like to replace these o2 sensors first and im also thinking of replacing all my control arms (starting to hear a clicking noise)

...ok so didnt get a copy of the service manual but I never let that stop me before and it wasnt going to stop me today .......i didn't know that I needed (2) Oxygen Sensor # 39210-3F040 so I just ordered another one and will install that one when it arrives ......this o2 sensor is on the passenger side....

.....this is what I removed to get to the o2 sensor on the drivers side which I removed from the underside of the vehicle ( the passenger side o2 sensor I removed from the top of the engine bay ).....

 

[MADDMOE]

....and this is the one I replaced from the other side of the Cat which requires two (one for each side that I didnt know ) but will correct soon

And these are the 3 old ones thats been on my car for 10 years

.....finished off my o2 sensors with the last one installed today ......it was the easiest to get to but took forever to come off.....but thankfully I didn't give up .....and my blow torch didn't let me down.....

........now awaiting forward control arms and radiator upper hose.......

 

[MADDMOE]

.....started to see drops right under the clamp....so it had to go

 

[MADDMOE]

.....and would have changed my front lower (rear) control arms if they would have both arrived but instead I get to stare at one til probably Monday when the other arrives.......I hope......

Good info. Just curious why you changed all the O2 sensors? Where they faulty? Getting engine codes?

how the hell did they damage a control arm?

 

[MADDMOE]

....probably damaged the bushing if anything.....

 

[MADDMOE]

....finally got my other control arm from UPS and spent yesterday installing both of em.......the first one (passenger side) took me about 3 hours only because it was my first time and I was in no rush .....the driver side I did in about 90 minutes after knowing what to do ....

.......this is what 10 years will do to the bushings .....ill throw em in a box just in case I still own this car 10 years from now ill pop these bushing out and new ones in...
