Interchangeable parts?

[S-caped 1]

Anyone know where I could get a roof rack from the limited edition "no boundaries package" escape?

I'd say it's time to head to e-bay and Craigslist. Also check out www.searchtempest.com to check Craigslist nationwide, including Canada and Mexico.

I'm at 127k and just replaced my original OEM struts and shocks with KYB and so far they have performed well. The OEM struts were toast but the rear shocks were still surprisingly stiff with good rebound so with the fronts being blown any replacement was better. KYB's are definitely a bit stiffer though. I'd also recommend replacing your sway bar links with MOOG's if you haven't already done so. The OEM links are woefully pitiful in every conceivable way. A stiffer set of links go a long way to improving handling. So does a strut tower brace.

Exactly what I needed. I'm replacing all of these things soon and wanted something higher quality / better than OEM without sacrificing ride quality.

What springs did you use with your KYBs?

I was running Eibach's lowering springs but the rears rusted through and broke in half. (That was a first for me). I replaced them and the struts with H&R lowering springs. I also replaced the front lower control arms and ball joints with MOOG's at the same time.

There happens to be a no boundaries 2005 escape at my local junkyerd with a rack still intact
