Title: I got the shaft
Post by: TucanSam on February 01, 2007, 03:40:27 PM
Without going into the sorid details my soon to be ex-wife refuses to ship my car parts to me.  So I called up Ford this morning and ordered, springs, control arms, hardware, and some bits I need for the 05.  Grand total was nearly $300.  Then I headed down to Pep Boys and ordered another $200 worth of suspension parts.  So I think Im looking at $800-1000 to rebuild the front and rear suspension.

BTW:  The upper rear dogear bushings from Ford have gone from $5 to $38, Pep Boys still carries them for $5.95, and I have 8 of them at the ex-s house gathering dust.

A small price to pay I guess, at least shes 1700 miles away.
