I just bought a 2003 Ford Crown VIctoria P71 (Police Interceptor edition) and I need the lower ball joints replaced, and one of the upper ball joints replaced.

No one seems to know where I can find some after market parts for this.

What mechanics are telling me is that Ford stopped making just the ball joints and now I have to buy the entire control arm for the parts I need.

My control arms are good, is it possible just to replace the ball joints if I found a place that had them available?

And if so where could I find them?

So far the quotes I have range from 900 to 1020.08 with $693.00 going toward the control arms.

I am assuming that just getting the two lower ball joints and the one upper ball joint is cheaper than paying for control arms that I dont need.

Also, for the Police Interceptor I was told that the Upper ball joints I could use just the regular Crown Victoria parts but for the Lower Ball joints I need more expensive heavy duty parts.
Is that true?

I own a six month old 2006 VW GTI. I've recently fallen in love with the Nissan 350Z. And as much as I've put into my GTI and have enjoyed it, it's kinda pissing me off. Electronic malfunctions specifically. I've read (on Yahoo! Answers no less) that Nissan is THE most reliable car manufacturer out right now. The GTI is bought and paid for and I'll get about 20,000 for it after taking out the subs and amps and selling them on the side. So i'll have relatively low payments. I'm hoping maybe some Z owners can give me some recommendations. How the pain at the pump is, is the thrill worth the lack of room? Things like that. I learned stick in my GTI and now I'm hooked. I looooove performance. I'm starting to form an addiction. Sub question: Any other reccommendations? P.S. I just got married and we just bought her an 06 RSX Type-S, so money is a factor. Thanks for your time guys. Let the battle commence.

Can anyone help me find performance parts for the Nissan 2.4L 16-valve l-4 engine? Not cold air intakes and exhust tips, but cams intake manifolds, ignitions and hard parts. The engine in question is the truck motor from the frontier. I'm not concerned about emissions.

I heard that Hyundai's make their cars last a few years just to impress and they have engine and electrical problems. Is this true?

I know the 0-60 time but that doesn't really reflect real life. I am more interested in 30-70, 50-70 etc...

I was thinking about getting one but almost all review I read online mention faulty transmition that have to be replased around 65,000 miles. I know many people spend time to complain and few will take the time to praise, so I didn't know if anyone has / had an Axiom that they loved. Thanks guys!

I have a Lexus LS, everytime I start the car excessive amount of white smoke comes out of the exhaust. It only happens If I leave the car sitting there for more then 2 hours. Some say it can be water leaking, but all my water and anti freez are still in tack. So I really don't know.

The closer the lights get, the double glare goes away. There are no obvious flaws in the windshield. Glass techs and Nissan folks I talk to, don't have a clue. It's not my vision, I don't have this problem with other vehicles. When looking thorugh the top or bottom 1/4 of the windshield, it goes away. My theories, it could have something to do with the curve or slant of the windshield, but that would be a design flaw and it seems that would have attracted wider known attention by now. I may go ahead and replace the windshield, but I would be really aggravated if that didn't cure the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Im looking to buy a car and have always wanted a MG ZR. My mate is selling 1 and i'm tempted to buy however im a bit worried about some issues. Are they still worth the money, what are the running costs like and should any problem occur is it still easy to get replacement parts?

If not can you suggest an alternative car around the same price (4-5k) with similar looks/nippy performance?

Thanks.
