1.4 bar Coolant Pressure Cap (radiator cap) for our X3. The rubber seal on top isn't available separately and this one was leaking. It's common to go with an older model car 1.4 bar cap vice the 2.0 bar the factory put on them to prevent blowouts and major coolant loss if something fails. BMW went back to 1.4 bar on the next generation X3 too.
 
Got this spark plug for the mower. Already had the rest of the seasonal maintenance parts like the air filter and oil and oil filter. Just had to get the spark plug. Surprisingly Ace Hardware had the best price for them just over $5 and Lowe’s and Home Depot and Rural King were all close to $9.

Wow $9 for a Champion spark plug (@ home improvement stores.) Not too long ago they were a couple bucks.
 
One of my O'Reillys apparently stumbled on some of the Trico Rainguards they've been clearancing forever.

29" beams were $1.05 but everything else was .87 or .47. I took everything they had.

A pcv valve and hose for my 2004 Ford Focus. Car threw a P2004 code which I knew meant the intake flaps. Had it once before 100,000 miles ago. Flaps move so either the vacuum hoses behind the intake have a crack or the intake manifold actuator. Most likely the hose or hoses so replace the pcv parts when the intake comes off.
 
Cool. Did or will you also upgrade front sway bar?
No. The difference is much smaller. Only 2.6 mm. The rear was 8.5 thicker. I'll drive around like this for a few months then reassess. I don't think I'll have oversteer issues.
