[QUOTE="Mike Palguta, post: 1042277, member: 75802"] STA suspension is surprisingly robust, especially with regards to the ball joints and struts. I have 165+ miles on the odo, and still have the original ball joints. I have been told by the local Ford dealership that they are wearing, tho not enough to NEED replacing as yet. I have, however, replaced all 4 drive axle/CV Joints over the course of a few recent years. The rubber boots that protect the CV joints will crack and split, allowing dirt to invade the CV joint as cause failure. The problem usually manifests itself in vibration at speed, and even a clicking noise. If yours are original, perhaps a check on them would be in order. Also, as a warning, the EGR valve tends to fail at 150xxx miles, It can be a DIY project, tho poses many difficulties for a DIYer, as well as a pro. Replacing, including labor will run around 8 bills. All the best on your quest to keep yours alive! [/QUOTE]
