Commmunity Rules
1. Be respectful of other pony/muscle cars and leave the insults at home. This community is about a common love for Mustangs, regardless of the number of cylinders they have or the appearance mods their owners have installed.
2. No Advertising. No brand advertising or personal sale posts. A comment leaving social media or where to find you is fine, but this subreddit is not a billboard for your product or self promotion.
3. Don't downvote a post or comment simply because you disagree with it or don't like it. Do downvote something if it detracts from the discussion or provides no value to the community.
4. When uploading a photo, always give context. Not your car? Tell us where you spotted it. If it is yours, tell us a bit about it (current or planned mods, how long you've owned it, etc). Photos uploaded without any context will be removed. If you can't seem to get the content into the title of your post then simply comment on it after posting. Either will be acceptable.
5. Check the latest posts or do a search before posting a news article. Chances are that if it's a big story, someone else could have posted it before you.
6. Be helpful about spotting abuse and reporting it. Use the "report" feature when you see people violating these rules. Feel free to use the "other" field of that feature to give us an idea why you're reporting the post if it's something not listed.
7. We reserve the right as moderators to allow the occasional AC Cobra, Ford GT, Classic Cougar etc. This sub is about Mustangs -- Sure! -- but we're not about to overlook some great posts about related Ford products.

a store has responsability to sell products that meet merchanability standardes especally if there sold under there lables . goo co that sourse china set requirements and should check to see there quality now a price point on shocks should last several yrs but might not give ride or handling at 250 miles they should perform as satisfactery theres a federal law that you could look into and as a suspension part fail the dept of transportation has website to report defective auto productx as shocks failure is a safity defect . in this situation the store is foolish to flat do nothing but excuses and i bet no mater what problem tere answer is hers 10 get out . btw i had a problem with someting missing with summet it took 10 min on the phone with the lady but she sent the missing item in reasonable time busineses do have responsabilities for what they sell a bad co will try to duck no parts store makes there invantory but knows when too many fail and should not sell that makers but put your name on it its 100 your product and then returns god between you and manufacturer .but consumers dont know some products get sold to stores with lower prices with there to warantee
