What were the codes read? For some reason plenty of indys don't realize O2 sensor mixture faults are caused by fuel mixture and NOT the sensors themselves.

The OEM bushings are fluid filled and designed to absorb bumps/impacts. They wear out many times faster than the ball joints. I'd consider doing the joints with the bushings, but not instead of......

I've never seen them come out right really, not bright enough either. Can't expect 2 LED's to do the job of 60 I guess. But since it doesn't cost anything but time really it is worth a try.
