anondude4 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 i got a 2010 ford fusion sport whos timing chain doesn't work, probably broke and i've loved how these cars look so i intend on fixing the timing chain and water pump aswell. I've seen videos on the brackets that are near cam shifts should be replaced too, but should i do anything else while im there? also should i use ford OEM parts or will autozone suffice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Aftermarket parts quality has become terrible. Everything is made in China and it's like they were told to make them poorly. I would personally use OEM parts. I just paid big money for a sensor straight from Ford becuase the mechanic and I agreed that the aftermaket, which was only about 20% cheaper, was not trustworthy. It's a hard choice as the parts will be more money from Ford, but to me it is peace of mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I wouldn't even entertain the idea of Auto Zone. You're doing about a $2000.00 job. I dont think id try to save a buck on parts. Bop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
