This is a positive development, if you ask me. NAPA has good parts, my experience takes me there often when cheaper parts cause issues: alternators, bearings/sensors, pumps, etc. Thanks for the heads up.

 

I replaced my UCA ball joints with Moog and haven't had issues but only have 3500 on them so I can't speak to longevity. Additionally I will be replacing them again shortly to go to the STS spindles.

 

Anything goofy about installing these? Somebody referenced having to "dremel" out some sort of retainer or some such mess but I'm used to press in, press out...

 

Nothing goofy. Just press. Applies to every control arm bushing on the V1,V2, SRX, and STS.

 

Thanks!

 

Hydraulic press with a LOT of pressure but nothing goofy.

 

I ordered the Mevotech front upper arms Monday, and received them yesterday (ETA was Thursday). Rock Auto exceeded some expectations there.

The Mevotech arms are very well packaged and come with all new hardware. Upon first inspection, I'm impressed at the bang for buck value. I was expecting them to arrive somewhat loosely thrown into a box in their plastic liner bags with some brown paper stuffed around them.

 

I've got a stock grill that's never even been painted that does that to...

 

What?

 

Somehow that post got from the "What you done to your car thread" to hear. iPhone funkiness...

 

Went to Costco in all her dirty glory
