    I agree and Ive tried. Space seems to be their problems. Standard gave me good cash and he gave me a large amount of credit for parts in his yard. so that worked for me. Very pleasant Fellow unlike vultures towing who was here friday.

    Will I be hated. 96 explorer may take trip to metal yard. need something?>

    My thoughts were along the same line. Scrp rate is high at the moment and I have a big buyer 15 min from me. last update was 308 bucks a tonne so if i were to drag it across the scale and scrap the cat at the wirgh scale i would only get 1 grand for it so I figure if someone can use it for parts...

    Is the part an Upper ball joint or an upper controll arm

When i ordered the last set fo rmy truck i just asked for ball joints and the invoice shows upper lower etc, but no where is there a word control arm, bummer.

    Is the part an Upper ball joint or an upper controll arm

    I was at the auto wreckers today. I found an explorer that had a mint front end. Looked like it just received all new ball joint. On check out they tried to charge me 35.00 for an upper control arm and 6 bucks for the lower ball joints. My argument was that they were more considered a ball joint...

    Road Side brake fix (sorta)to get home

    very much so, Ive racked over 150,000 k on those rotors so nothing lost except the time messing with it. I knew they had to be replaced with new ones. just figured i could get another month out of em. I have another explorer so i want to retire this one before i put any cash into it.
