    So I took the car out again yesterday to see if it was just the excitement of having all the new parts installed that made me think it was better, or if it actually was. Well, I can confirm that it is for sure better. The ride is better, NVH has decreased, and the car is just a pleasure to drive. A conversation can be easily had, there is no drone, and even the gear whine seems to have backed off a little (maybe because of the aluminum drive shaft). You can now hear the M90 start to spool up much sooner where as before the changes you had to be hard on the loud pedal to hear the blower over the exhaust.

    Well, I was back to see Z&Z again today, this time with the wife’s daily driver. I don’t drive the Escape very often but after the last time I took it out I called ZR right away to make an appointment to check out the cacophony of sounds emanating from the front end. I was expecting a front suspension rebuild but it wound up being just a really bad ball joint. Z&Z had it fixed in no time and the old Escape was back on the road. Thank you Rick and Ross.

    I followed Stephen into the R&R garage. Conscientious and experienced, not sure which is which. Rick and Ross always take care of me. Thanks guys!

    I had a 2006 Escape that seemed to eat balljoints every year or two. Kind of like the Merc Sabble I had before that.

    Never understood why but chocked it up to a heavy vehicle and low quality after market parts.

    Good you got it sorted.

    When I first read Z&Z I immediately thought of this.
