Originally Posted by slacktide_bitog I would just change the fluid and not the pan/filter That PPE pan costs $300, which is 3-4x the cost of a stock pan. Also, Dorman makes a stock replacement pan with a replaceable filter and costs much less than the one you're considering. And the price of...

On a side these lower bjoints are a piece of cake to change on this vehicle. Huge difference to daughters suburu which is a serious PITA.

Coming up on doing my 1st drain and fill fluid change on my 2018 Ram. It has the ZF8 speed transmission. It's a "lifetime" fluid and Chrysler does not recommend a change interval. But that's another rabbit hole altogether. Anyhow this is kind of a dumb question but here it goes. These trannys...

I've decided I'll experiment and install both.. Who knows, maybe the nonMoog one will last longer.

Originally Posted by kschachn Moog probably re-boxes whatever they want, and in my experience I'd question the "Moog" one more than the other one. For one thing I much prefer the ones without grease fittings as I've found them to be much more reliable. Yeah I was debating that since I've heard...

Originally Posted by getawheel Personally, if the job could wait, I'd send it back. Whether it is a quality part or not isn't the issue, 1) it's not the same as the other ball joint, and 2) it's not what you ordered and paid for. RockAuto returns can be a pain, though, so you'll have to judge if...

Originally Posted by Chris142 I asked her how long it had been so bouncy in the rear and she said she did not notice anything unusual. Same deal with wife's Sonata. I took it for a ride and the front end was a mess.. She said : "yeah I'm used to it." Changing struts, ball joints and ...

I bought a new VW jetta GL in 95. Never again! It's the only vehicle I've bought that I was never happy with.

Changing a bunch of suspension parts on wife's 07 Sonata. It's been a while since I've used Rock Auto. I decided to go with Moog parts which included 2 lower ball joints. Both came in Moog packaging but one is some other generic brand. One looks like a Moog ball joint with castle nut and whole...

Thank you sir!

Yeah, from what I've been googling PSF3 and PSF4 are kia/hyundai proprietary brands. Not sure when they changed over to PSF4 but heard it had to do with reducing power steering squeaking in colder weather.

Greetings. I lost the manual to wife's 2007 Sonata. Have been changing all the fluids and then realized we've never touched the power steering fluid before. At 170K miles it's a very nasty color. Anyhow I've been googling with mixed results. Some say it takes PSF3 others say PSF4. Others say any...

Originally Posted by sloinker If you are buying in bulk and are willing to pay for shipping you may want to give Rockauto a looksee. Don't forget the 5% discount if you go that direction. From about $2.50 to $10.50 for all the brands they sell...

Oops. Guess I'm confusing the ultraguard with the extraguard. The ultra is 10.99 at walmart. They didn't have the extraguard. The xtra guard can be ordered for store pickup 6.99.

Thanks for the replies. Since I'm avoiding long drains I'll maybe use the supertech next time and see if it holds up. If I ever go to extended drains I'll pay the extra buck for the extra guard 11665.
