Ford Freestar Parts and Accessories

Three Parts Every Ford Freestar Needs to Keep Moving

Whether used for family trips or daily errands, the Ford Freestar continues to earn loyalty. First introduced in 2004, this minivan built its following on reliability, comfort, and space. It's a favorite among parents, contractors, and anyone who needs versatile transport with strong performance. At OEM Ford Parts Direct, we carry genuine parts that meet Ford's exact standards and keep your Freestar running the way it should.

Stay ahead of breakdowns with a new alternator

The alternator is responsible for charging your battery and powering the vehicle’s electrical system. If it starts to fail, you'll notice dim lights, slow accessory response, or even a dead battery. Genuine Ford alternators are built to handle the Freestar’s electrical load without shortcuts in materials or build quality. Replacing a failing alternator early prevents further damage and keeps systems like power sliding doors and climate control working reliably.

Don’t ignore transmission fluid leaks

One of the more common problems with older Freestars is a leaking transmission pan. Once the seal wears out or the pan becomes corroded, fluid loss can lead to gear slipping or hard shifts. A genuine Ford transmission pan ensures the right fit and a long-lasting seal that holds up under pressure. Aftermarket pans may seem cheaper, but they're more likely to cause leaks or fit poorly, leading to repeated repairs.

Get a smoother ride by replacing control arms

Worn control arms lead to clunking noises, uneven tire wear, and unpredictable steering. The Freestar’s suspension depends on these components to keep handling smooth and stable. Over time, bushings crack and joints wear out, especially on vehicles used in rougher conditions. OEM Ford control arms come with precise tolerances and materials made for the Freestar’s weight and performance needs.

When choosing between generic brands and genuine Ford parts, it comes down to trust and long-term reliability. OEM Ford Parts Direct only sells parts that meet the original factory specs, giving your Freestar the care it was designed for.
