Seems to be a 50,000km (30,000 mile) cost of ownership charge. This will be my 3rd set going into this vehicle. This latest set lasted an extra 10,000 kms probably because I disassembled them before installation and greased them well. The bearings are not sealed and have plastic around them. A reasonable seal system or grease zerk to at least push out the crud would help a lot.
Monroe now has Strut mounts (909905) and that is what I am trying this time. Why reward Ford for hiring poor engineers?
