Hey, Rascal!

<> 173,000 miles and I still have my original sensors...oh well. <>

Guess I beat ya to THAT one...I did the DAKSY's O2s at 110K

<> I DID have to replace my lower ball joints today however. I had the
uppers and lowers
 done a year ago and replaced with Moogs, but in the last month, had this
 terrible squeak. It took me a while to realize it was my lower ball
joints.
 I tried to put some green grease in the left one and found that I could not
 seem to get any to go in. I finally unscrewed the zerk and it was
 completely clogged. My guess is there was never any grease put in it.
 After checking the right side..same thing...uppers were fine. So I ordered
 new lowers again from Rockauto, replaced them and told Rockauto my story.
 They told me those units are lifetime guaranteed and to send them back.
 They are refunding for the parts and their part of shipping. I put on the
 new lowers and pumped grease into the new ball joints. <>

How much ffor the MOOGs? The DAKSY's ready for lowers...Did you do the outer
tie-rod ends., too?

<>I love a happy ending.<>

As do I, they just never seem to happen to me!
