Default Best o2 sensors

Well recently my front o2 sensors went out. What brand is the best to get? i did a search here and nothin; did a search on google and only found bosch but nothin that said if they were good or not. Thanks

If anyone has changed their o2 sensors and took pictures I would love to see them.
The ford dealer told me it would cost 450.00 to change them, so I am gonna do this myself.

Both front o2's went bad??? That's a bit suspicious, you're not going by "free code reading at Autozone" are you? Anyway the best O2 sensors are either Genuine Ford or Motorcraft, don't waste your time on anything else.

It's highly irregular for both front o2's to go bad, so your best bet would be to have a mechanic really diagnose the problem.

You have some other issue. Depending on the codes, you probably need to clean your maf sensor and/or throttle body. Do a search on cleaning those.

If/when you do actually need front O2 sensors, as mentioned, stick with Motorcraft/Ford ones for best reliability and least issues.
