![]() Look for parts from a discount OEM source like Tasca and you will find updated OEM parts for less than aftermarket. One other note is that almost all suspension parts are labeled as Jaguar as the cars share many of the same parts. When I took them apart you could easily see the damage caused by dirt and moisture and I live in sunny so.CA. I have an 04 with 32k on it and yup age alone reduced the balljoint, trailing arm and even some of the rubber bushings on the control arms to dust. The rubber boots once cracked allow road dirt and moisture into the joints with the result being almost immediate damage to the joints. I'm used to it ALWAYS being something needing repair according to them. ![]() Although they never mentioned the brakes they said I needed tires. Although I intended to get the brakes replaced elsewhere I procrastinated and 5,000 miles later I went back for The Works oil change and NOTHING was said about brakes, the mechanic recorded 6mm of pad left on the same wheel that the other mechanic recoded 2mm. The oil change before my last one I was told I needed brakes and the mechanic recorded 2mm of pad left. ![]() I always have Ford do "the works" oil change special for $39 that includes tire rotation and inspection of a bunch of items (40?). The closest Ford dealer to me is famous for BS diagnoses of non-existent problems. Dealers often use the oil changes to manufacture items needing repair. Try another Ford, or better still, a LINCOLN dealer to give you an opinion. The boots themselves are not available separately and are only sold as an assembly. Other Ford dealers use the torn boots as an excuse to replace everything. The Ford dealer REFUSED to repair the torn rubber boots saying that there had to be a problem with the joints themselves before they would repair them under the warranty. One owner had about 60,000 miles on his car and had the ESP warranty.
