I agree....

At some point, one of those part, or the bolts that hold your car together, would have let go! Not such a good thing at highway speeds.... and with little ones in the car to boot.

Mr Burns! From only the longest running "sit com" in TV history!

And my friend, you got a steal. I would be concerned that they are really stolen parts, lol.

Mr. Burns most spoken word is "eggsellent" and is the pose he makes most often when he says it, but maybe a bit old skool if you are not 40 something.

My thoughts also, but they are from Rockauto!! I guess if they show up still on a car, then I know they are HOT!!!LOL I could not pass up a deal like that, especially when the parts are double if not more.

Looks like I will get some drivetime in this year, my wife just called and they are on my doorstep. I just ordered them yesterday and did not pay for expedited shipping. That is service!! She said there is a Moog box and a Motorcraft box. I would have ordered double if they would have had them in stock.

Ok, so I got the parts all new in the box. Moog ball joints and Motorcraft sure track struts and shocks. I have all of the components installed. Installed the rear first as it is the easiest and then had a few and moved onto the front. Not bad, the ball joints pressed out and back in within 10 minutes with some light tapping from my best frend (BFH) cleaned up the control arms and pressed in the new ball joints. Everything came apart and went back together very well.

So I took it for a test drive to check everything before I get an allignment and got a f$#&%$& code!!!!! P1131. I hope this car is not going to be like my last and everytime I touch something it is like the domino effect. I looked up the code and you might as well grab a beer and read awhile for the possible causes.

Got everything back together and took it in for an alignment. Guess What!!!! All 4 wheels are bent. That is giving me a shimmy.
