Currently have 94,6xx. I do plan on doing most of the aforementioned replacements, but more than likely after winter. -
Most companies have two lines now. I suspect their lower level lines are basically the same stuff. The good is Moog Problem Solvers, Raybestos Professional, AC Delco Professional.
After some trouble with the cheaper stuff I'd stick to the good lines, maybe NOS stuff of different companies too.

Most of my stuff was in pretty bad shape before 110,000 miles. You definitely have an advantage with knowing what's in store. I didn't have a clue, and it ended up being a brutal experience.Originally posted by NMerenda View Post

Advance Auto for Moog, AutoZone for Raybestos / McQuay Norris (labeled as Duralast). Either route is good, and the warranties are great.1984 Ford Crown Vic LTD, The Murphmobile (RIP)

Not a problem! Usually warranties are easier to take care of in parts stores, and most will match competitors prices. I work for a parts store, and we'll even price match RockAuto, if you calculate in the shipping with the total cost.1984 Ford Crown Vic LTD, The Murphmobile (RIP)

Ok everyone, after much advice given from several friends, and my alignment guy (got upper ball joints done, much better ride!!!), I've decided to replace the front shocks and springs, possibly the rears too. I want to go with police interceptor shockssprings for sure, but what's a good brand? I'm looking at the monroe severe duty gas charged at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions.Comment
