Me too! I'm tired of looking at the hood rising up above level with the driver's fender. Not to mention the hood bounces up and down with only the "DUCK BILL" keeping the hood from flying up! My pins came in yesterday and they really were junk! The round scuff plates looked like they were cut outs from beer cans! I only have to blame myself as I went for "cheap" price! Like the old saying goes, " You pay less you get less!" LoL. I ordered another set and are coming tomorrow. With a little surge of energy I might get the rear shocks on this afternoon. My bones and muscles are screaming, "Don't get under that car again!" Ha

Tried changing the rear shocks with new but after getting one off there was nothing wrong with it. Both rear shocks did not look that old. The shock was strong and not needing changing. Put the old one back on. I used para cord, aka 550 cord, top to bottom to keep shock compressed and it slid right back into the lower control arm. The phantom squeak, after spraying silicone on all bushings and grommets is still there but very diminished. Maybe it will completely disappear with use!
