Jim, The "r" stands for Rolling Big Power aka RBP. Those grilles are over 600 bucks. I think they are hideous as is that truck

Thanks 88, the alignment has been done a few times... my stock tires and Roush wheels. Done it since I've got it, just seems worse. I can't believe the hub bearing would be gone... the rotors are new, one's a Raybestos the other is a MC.

Thanks. Hard to believe the little rascal will be 9 on Oct 7. Got her when she was 2 months old. The first two years where an endurance contest, but she shaped up and turned into a fairly obedient little dog. Just definitely has a mind of her own. You have to make her understand that what you want her to do is really what she want'e to do. Sounds like a teenager doesn't it.

There is no telling how much laughter and fun she has brought to our lives, the past 9 years.

I had a defective rotor from Rock Auto... $450 later Ford put on a new MC rotor and I asked them to check the torque on the other rotor... I'm assuming they did since my Service writer wrote it

John, those heavier, wider rims will amplify any problem or shortcoming you may have in the steering. Just the nature of the beast.

That sounds pretty good! Those ECs are awesome. Been too long since I had some.

I'm sorry about that. You have had a string of it all the sudden.

If that's the case pay attention to the calipers and then the steering/suspension components....

I probably should take a nap. Went to bed at 12:00 last night, had to get up at 4:00 so I could leave at 5:00 to come to Brownsboro/Athens
