and the shipping will likely be cheaper

Why does it say "rear"? Don't I need the to "fronts" or "upstream"?

One of these days, you will learn to trust me.

your car has two oxygen sensors, and those just happen to be a common ford sensor

Upon further research, you can also use a bosch 15716

I just questioned it because I was looking at a couple different sites and there where conflicting reports on whether these were the right ones or not.

RockAuto has them for $40.89/each, instead of $74.99/each, but Rock Auto says they are the 4 wire, not the 2 wire like the Summit site. They also have the 15716 sensors for $36.79/each. Wonder why they say rear but will work for the fronts?

That's fine. I appreciated the help you've given. I just don't know why a site like Summit would say they are for the rear, but will work for the front. I also didn't know what the difference was between 2 and 4 wire.
