Yeah, looks great!

Ditto, but a little more recent. Just like the ball joint assemblies, it could be the case that they improved the bushings... I haven't heard anything but it's possible.

Yup although I'll add, mine don't squeak either, just developed some play.

X-Axis is what they come with, so it's also what they require. Mine are on the way out too.

Just kidding! I love me some fall colors!

I can't find it now either...may be worth a call though to see if they have any more.

Increasingly failing fuel pump. It can pressurize the line to where it will deliver squirting when disconnecting a line and still be failing because the line stays pressurized. RockAuto is selling Denso old stock on sale right now...cheaper than a Delphi. Double check fitment for your...

New OEM Radiator went in yesterday, a Denso was in there so this represents an upgrade back to factory. Thanks @TrailBornRunner for putting it in!

Geez...that's how far away from that I am as well. I may not be able to let it go...
