2004 Lincoln Aviator
Ordered some KYB struts to be installed, and the shop called to ask if I just happen to have the strut mounts, since the originals were rusty. I said no, then set out on a road trip to the local auto parts stores to see if they (1) had any in stock, or (2) if they could order them.

First couple of places didn't have any in stock, and could only order the fronts, rears were unavailable. Went to Car Quest and got a different story. According to their system, the front and rear strut mounts for a 2004 Lincoln Aviator are the same. It's MOOG part number K80145.

Stopped by the shop to check on their progress, and they said to hold off on getting any strut mounts. They're making slow progress with them, had one of the fronts already done. I told them I'd rather they do this right than right away, use PB Blaster, a torch, etc. to loosen up those strut mount nuts. We'll see what happens when they start to work on the rears, those mounts looked pretty rusty to me...
