Found the knuckles if anyone is interested. They're from Ford's own Aztec Manufacturing.

I can see that question being asked since our automatics have clutch packs. The obvious question is manual, but I've had both asked for. Usually for the red clutch discs w new steels, but they do get asked for.

Autozone to me, has the worst, by far, partsmen/partswomen on the planet. Stupid may not be a good term, but uneducated surely comes to mind when it comes to AZ. Oreilly's isn't much better, but at least they will let you show you the part you want (look it up yourself locally), and you can go from there. AZ doesn't give you much options for you showing them the correct part. I got so pissed with AZ, I called their zone rep, and complained about their lack of skills and the people they put in charge. This is a **** poor run business, In my opinion. At least with the local stores. Nationally it might be better. It can't get any worse.

Strangely enough, at both the O'Reilly and the AZ in my town, the best parts help at each store is a female. I'm not slamming females, but they are far more competent than the males in those stores. I know a few dudes that need their man card pulled.

I usually find the part I'm looking for on-line. Print out the page with the picture and part number and take it to them if they don't offer buy on-line and pick up in-store. That way I have at least a 50/50 chance of them getting it right.

Money should have more focus in public schools rather than stuff like algebra. Real world things are what the workforce needs.

I've brought people in for job interviews that can't even use a calculator... and I mean the solar powered dollar store calculator - not like a Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator, LOL.

I can look and see what I've got. I have a whole bunch of Motorcraft cup washers and bushings at home.

Weird. Every set of shocks I've bought came with them.
