bosch 15716 and bosch 15718 are the same exact sensor, the difference is the length of the wiring the 15718 has a longer wire. Both sensors would go before the catalytic converter. 15717 goes after.

Is the oxygen sensor on a 2000 Ford Explorer 4-cylinder 4x4 located in front of or behind the catalytic converter?
You may have two- one in the exhaust manifold/downpipe, and the other just past the catalytic converter.
Can replacing the flange gasket to exhaust manifold clear a p0420?
Not likely because: Code p0420 refers to a problem with your catalytic converter. The engine computer is able to test that converter by using an oxygen sensor before and after the converter. The computer can only test the converter under very specific driving conditions. If the computer determines that it is a good time to test the catalytic converter it will run the test. It compares the oxygen sensor readings in front of the converter to the readings behind the converter to see if the catalytic converter is functioning properly. If it is not functioning properly it will trigger a p0420. Sometimes if a catalytic converter is on the virge of failing it may fail one test and pass the next. This will cause your check engine light to come off and on every once in a while when the test is performed.
Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1998 Chevy 1500 4x4 truck?
one in each side of the exhaust crossover pipe and one behind the catalytic converter
Will your vehicle run poorly without a catalytic converter?
No your car will infact run better (more power), exhaust gasses are able to flow much more freely without a Cat. The downside you will shorten the life of everyone who drives behind you as a Catalytic Converter Converts deady gases to less harmful gases. Highly Illeagal to remove these from you car. Fines in Australia are something in the order of $10,000.
Where are the O2 sensors located on a 1998 Ford expedition and how do you change them?
They are screwed into the exaust system at various points. Some people say that there are 4 oxygen sensors, but technically, that is not correct. Only the front 2 are considered oxygen sensors. They are screwed into the exaust pipe, one on each bank, after the exaust manifold, but before the catalytic converter. Sometimes they are screwed directly into the exaust manfold itself. The other 2 are actually called catalyst moniters. They are oxygen sensors, but they serve a different purpose. They moniter the activities of the catalytic converters, thus the name, catalyst moniters. They are screwed into the exaust one on each bank,after, or downstream, of the catalytic converters. A 7/8ths inch wrench is the size needed to turn the O2 sensors. They just unscrew out normally. The connectors on the front O2's will be a challenge. They are way up behind the engine in a really stupid place to get access and unplug/plug in.

On the exhaust line just behind the area where the 2 manifolds become one but before the catalytic converter. Should have a shroud around it.

Post is the O2 sensor located behind the converter and Pre is the sensor located in front of the converter. Sometimes also referred to as upstream and downstream.

Immediately behind the engine.
