The price tag is so much better than a car payment! That vehicle is now ready for another 200,000 miles! I have a 93 ranger I daily to work with 508,000+ miles and still has the original engine transmission and rear end. 💯 Regular maintenance and 3000 mile oil changes work!!!
I’d get it all done. Way cheaper than a new car. Those little RX’s are nice, and It’s a clean ride. Every vehicle needs maintenance, and most parts wear out eventually. It is what it is. Stay ahead of the maintenance, and it won’t hurt as bad as paying for multiple parts like that in one shot.
I had a 04 F350 6 speed. Clutch pedal bushing broke and my Ford dealer charged me over $400 for a whole new pedal assembly they said they couldn't get just the bushing. 2 years later my buddy had his bushing go out of his 97 f250 and Napa sold him a bushing kit for $30. Boy I was not too happy about that. Too bad I didn't know you Ford boss back in the day! Great job and God Bless!
When you said that the knuckle had to be changed I figured that some company made replacement bushings. Sure beats spending $800. Our current fleet consists of a 90 Olds Delta 88, 98 Honda Civic and a 2000 GMC pickup. I do the best I can to keep these older vehicles going. I want nothing to do with the current vehicles with all the excess gadgetry that is prone to failure.
There’s no doubt that the first job should’ve been time and belt. Customer should’ve been warned to not worry about the noise, but worry about the engine blowing up first.
Thanks for sharing, I recently did a lot on my 17 rav4 at home. Just spent 300 dollars on parts and free Labor 😂 Brakes Valve cover gasket Sway bar links Tie rods Light bulbs and detailing in and out
Buy a Steelman sound tool detector. I found my suspension problem in less than 10 minutes. I thought it was a swaybar but it was the upper rear control arm. Thanks to the noise detector tool. Thanks to Scotty Kilmer showing how to use it

$800 for that job is great
Agreed. I thought min 1500.00 usd
Rich that is so nice of you to charge less. God Bless you

I prefer timing chains for any vehicle I plan to keep a long time
Great work sir Rich 👏
Wow 220,000 miles
Bulk discounts sre outstanding. Keep up the great work Rich.
I've heard them called top bearing plates.
I read that the average age of cars is now 12.5 years old 😮
I'm driving my 27 year old Chevy. I'm done with the new stuff.
@darrellteague8629 I have a 24 year old Chevrolet Impala with 300,000 miles with original engine. It saves me a lot of money.
@@CJ-wc6lf I have a 22 year old Camaro with about 230,000 miles.
That car is remarkably rust-free for a 20yo car in Chicago.
Damn, those lower control arm bushings left the chat. lol Those make quite the racket as well when they get that bad. Great video Boss!

Yikes man that timing belt is seriously cooked, rarely see them that bad without breaking lol
Just send the bill to pritzker! Roads are still 100% 💩 in the whole state.
Good one. Yes. 😄
My son had to get water pump on Ford Edge with V6. Cost $2,500 12 hour job
older Toyota's used to eat upper strut mounts and sway bar parts just like yours
Thanks!

Brakes
Valve cover gasket
Sway bar links
Tie rods
Light bulbs and detailing in and out
$5k divided by the years or mileage it’s well worth doing
Hey, Ford Boss.
That’s a lot of work for $800 honest business
Struts, shocks and strut mounts should have been replaced at 100k miles
I have what might be considered a stupid question. Why do manufacturers use timing belts instead of timing chains on all ICE cars?
Someone has not properly maintained that car.
Timing belt would have been done first
