On the 5.0 I am running a watts link which uses spherical rod-ends. I have to grease them every 2-4 weeks or so otherwise they squeak. Same with my lower control arms. Oh well... labor of love. 
Also, happy to announce I am ahead of schedule with this crap at work. I should have everything done by tomorrow afternoon and can leave for ZDayZ stress free, only to jump back into it on the 22nd.  |

i read one post in the suspension section about a leaking koni yellow. might want to follow that to see how the situation is resolved with the warranty replacement etc.
yellows are notorious for having bad lots from time to time. must be a european thing.  |
Then it sounds like I'm doing it (as soon as I can)! I don't mind having to tweak something every now and then, as long as it isn't too frequent. I did read about the leaking Koni issue, will definitely keep my eyes open for it.
Now if only FBNISSAN will take payments.
Thanks for the helpful info again guys, I appreciate it.
