They need to be filled with grease after they are installed.

When you buy online you are paying closer to the wholesale end, shops are always going to charge full list. Many charge over full list so they can build in profit on the parts.

Rockauto sells the inner, Moog, for your X for $31.79. $270 for that job, even with alignement, is a complete joke.

Yes.

Yes, but none of them are under $1,500.

AutoXray doesn't read ABS codes. It could be anything, you'll need to find a scanner that will read ABS, and most of the consumer models don't.

Squeaking could be just the leaf springs, spray some WD40 in between each of the springs and see if it goes away. Sometimes the rubber pads between the springs fall out and causes them to make a lot of noise.

Hmm, looks like you've covered the basics. If it were the IAC I wouldn't think it would do it up in the power band, they usually only got nutzo at idle. Perhaps a throttle position sensor is sticking a bit? You have no vac leaks either?

You need to pull the rear axle's to have full access. You can do the job without removing them, but it's kind of a pain in the a$$ since there isn't much room to work. I did mine without removing the axles and it took me about 2 hours. If you tackle the job spend the $15 or so and get a...

I just got Michelin LTX M/S a few weeks ago, great tire. Very comfortable on the road and very little noise. The M/S stands for Mud/Snow......so there ya go. ;)

Bosch plugs are garbage, don't use them. You can get most of the other stuff on your list from www.rockauto.com They carry Motorcraft stuff for really good prices.

It will run $1000-$1300 at a Ford dealer to have them fix it. If you are new at this, or don't have a lot of knowledge about it, you probably don't want to try this as your first major project. It's not a simple repair.

95's had the OHV's, the chain tensioner was a SOHC problem. If he has 160k miles on that tranny I wouldn't be power flushing it with a machine either, dislodging stuff after that long can plug the filter and cause it to fry. With that many miles he'd be better off dropping the pan and...

Tranny fluid is supposed to be changed every 30k miles, and based on your post you've got 105k miles on the current fluid. That's not too good.

Use Mercon V, which is required for your tranmission anyway.

When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?

Bosch plugs are garbage, and Ford motors hate them. I'd yank them and replace them with Motorcrafts and see how much that helps the problem.

Thanks guys. I've got all the hardware, at least I think I do. They even included zip ties for the shock boots.

I just got my new shocks from the UPS guy today and I've got a quick question. They are fully compressed, but there are no bands or zip ties holding them, I was always under the impression they had to be held in place with something to stay compressed. Is this normal? I've never installed...

Ford updates plug numbers constantly, the number Autozone gave you should be fine.

If an O2 was bad he would have gotten an O2 code long before he got the cat code. O2's are probably the most monitored thing on an OBDII system.

All the stuff listed in this thread (bad O2's, etc) are causes for the code, it's not going to correct the code. Once the cat is gone, it's gone.

Clean or replace your idle air control valve.
