It was about $90 for the pair of lowers. No, I did not replace the tie
rods, mine still really seemed okay, at least according to my blind eyes. I
did not know you had your sensors replaced, I thought we had a "club" of
unchanged 98 o2 sensors...darn, now I gotta do it...okay, next week, I
promise...this is all your fault Bernd...don't you get sick of being right
all the time???? Juuuusstt kiddinnnggg...

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!
