Her it goes, I will in a couple of week do a maintenance/repair spree. I have multiple question, I have read a lot but stil question.
1- I found out that my RA bushing could be causing popping, stering lossness, so I want to replace them. Should I go for a kit and replace all the bushing or just the RA one. My truck has 145,000 km and I think none where ever replaced.
2- I also need to replace rear brakes, O2 sensor, serpentine belt and replace my air filter (drop in K&N). Can I get a price for all these item or do I need to shop around for best price at each store for each part.
3- After replacing the bushing, do i need an alignement to be done.
4- Is the open air element going to make a difference compare to my drop-in
5- For the O2, should I get the Ford OEM or is there some performance one that could be better.
6- For the brakes, I replaced the front with ART slotted brake. For my rear do I go with standard pads or is ther any better performance pads out there.
7- For the RA bushing thing, I read 2 methods. The first one is to get rid of the rivet on the bracket and the other is to dismantle suspension parts to pry loose the RA. Wicth one is better in term of time and in mind of replacing them again(if needed).
Thanks for all your input.
