just wondering

I normally change them out quickly once they start making some noise.
they have 220K miles on them and I am sure if one is starting to go, the other is not far behind. with 100K of those miles on michigan roads... I am pretty surprised they have lasted this long.

Been enjoying the 4.6 without much problems... *knock on wood*

I do notice a bit of a rattle sometimes during heavy(ish) acceleration with a cold engine turning right.... motor mounts or impending doom?

Light acceleration is best with a cold engine.

Could be spark knock but only on right turns indicates something else. Doesn't sound like motor mounts since it is only on right turns and when the engine is cold. On right turns the left side suspension is loaded. Suggest troubleshooting there first.

rattle while turning and acceleration tends to make me think a CV joint

cheers for the suggestions gents! No I don't use heavy acceleration on a cold engine, I'd say engine oil is about 40 degrees and it's between 3-4k rpm. CV joint could be possible, but then I don't hear anything with a warm engine. I do have a persistent CEL for one of the O2 sensors, maybe the mixture is off a bit sometimes, because swapping the sensors didn't make a difference, camshaft position (1 out of 4) sensor also gives a code.

figured I'd paint them Burnt Orange when I rebuolt the 4.8iS calipers and installed them.
Someone else here has the same color and I used that for inspiration. Is it you Crytstalworks?
