    Imrc The PO said his mechanic told him he needed a new intake manifold runner control actuator. I should pick it up this weekend. I will pull the codes and inspect the vac lines and connecting rods if I can find them. Any idea if they are easily visible. I have no experience with the 4.6L.

    Ball Joints Done- Kind of... forgot lift alignment washers So I ordered Both Sides- Upper and Lower Kit from A-1 Auto. Total $119! It took quite a while to get the lower out due to the fact the ball joint press I rented from Autozone only has so many sizes. But the real time was getting the...

    I really like the two tone Escape Limited steering wheel. Do you think it would fit? Also what is the measurement from the center of you axle to the bottom of the fender? I think the PO adjusted the TT bolts and I don't want to overdue it.
