Good deal on those struts!

The adjustable ones for my Lincoln are about $180ea on Rock Auto.  Much more painful, but actually not as bad as I feared.

At $55ea though they can almost be considered a every few year maintenance item.

Had the PTU replaced about 10k ago so decided to replace the fluid with amsoil severe duty 75-140 yesterday. fluid looked fine and was still pretty viscous as expected. got about 14oz sucked out.

This was my first time doing the PTU maintenance. overall pretty easy. did it on jack stands from underneath the car. no going through the wheel well or anything.

My SHO is back in the shop again with a PTU leak from somewhere.  I'm thinking it's another seal issue, as I just had the axle seals done last week. 

Dollars to donuts say that led to this leak.  Grrr frustrating.

Best of luck and keep us updated. Z

My pleasure! Seriously though.

Amazing how quiet it is, huh? Like I said, fits the bills perfectly. Glad to have assisted you in stimulating your..... ummm..... your local economy.

@SHOdded..... who moi? Never!

Lol. Even I can't say that with a straight face.

I am a Michael after all and trouble simply gravitates around me. Challenging to keep it at bay on any given day.

You want to know how to start your day off every day....

Opening the door to go to work and seeing a mustang eating, LS beating, and Audi embarrassing Taurus... so what have I done to my ecoboost vehicle today?  Gave it home! (Queue Sarah Mclachlan music)

FWIW my wife got me a kegarator...which also assists my SHO... if not my bank account!

I went ahead and ordered some Specialty Products 81280 Cam Bolt Kit prior to my H&R Springs install so its aligned up to Spec's and is up to Par with my ocd lol.  Z
I guess you all know whats next with the cooler weather upon us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW  :bigthanx: To SHOdded for his guidance and support throughout the years and to bpd1151 for an exceptional "How To" which can be found below.

I will make sure to share plenty of pics  :camera_icon: once the install is complete. Z  :)
