HERE is a link to the actual part. Looks like I'll be placing an order.

Looks like the nuts are separate.

Yep. Done. Boom!


The parent company is G-Cor Automotive. According to the BBB, they've been in biz for 27 years, so I feel comfortable with the purchase.

Shouldn't be a problem re-using the one that's on there, I'll bet. There was no problem when I replaced the hubs on the '99.

I re-use the Ford nuts all the time. The POS's that come with the CV Axles are junk, one use. They often times even jack up the threads because of that pinch on them.

Well guys today I hit a Pacifica. He came behind some soccer moms suburbans as I was turning left into home depot. I managed to hit the brakes and almost let him go on by, I just needed 8 fewer inches and we both would have been fine... but that isn't how it went.

It is definitely fixable and i intend to do just that. Looks like I'll need new marker lights, grill surround, grill insert, bumper, valance, and fogs. I think I can reuse my bumper pad but I will check it all out tomorrow and go from there.

Everyone was fine and no airbags went off. I had to pull the bumper off in the Home Depot parking lot and drove it on home.
