[QUOTE="mike_b_svt, post: 16418874, member: 4601"] Thanks for the info, that's definitely what I needed to hear. I understand what you're saying, but it's good to read it and have a solid plan. I would actually rather they had said "yeah you need damn near everything cuz it's all shot"... I've been expecting to hear it for years now ~ hell, I replaced a bunch of stuff on the wife's explorer last year and she drives it like a little old lady (shh! I didn't say that out loud! >.> ). 50k on a set of tires?? That's crazy talk. I don't think I've ever got more than 15k out of set (Goodyears, Nittos, whatever ~ went with BFG Comp AS this time). Thankfully my commute is short though ~ I might put 4k on the car a year. ...but I drive very aggressively to make up for it ;-) Usually the edges on the front are shot, and the centers on the rear, even with regular rotations. It's often just a matter of which one shows cords first, LOL! Unfortunately, this last set wore only the outer edges on the fronts very quickly, going below tread spec within 3k miles :-/ That's part of why I came here seeking education. That way I know if they are trying to sell me snake oil. Ford dealer, so very doubtful that they went through the hoops to do any tricks to bring it into spec :-/ Thanks for the info on the bolt and plates, I greatly appreciate it! Thanks everyone. I'll start looking into local shops, and break out the jack and stands. I'll try to post an update once it's all sorted out ~ or if I find a smoking gun myself. [/QUOTE]
