At first they looked like they would be perfect for my 1998 2.5 liter Ford Ranger but then I realized they weren't. The size was slightly larger than the original, which didn't bother me at all, even when the front of my truck went up an inch or two. The problem was a hard ride due to what I suspected was the extra length. I removed them and mistakenly cut them shorter than the originals, which I thought would make my ride smoother, but it wasn't. My spine was still complaining about the rough ride. Then I decided to order the real ones, noting that their thickness differs from the Moog's thickness. I also checked the tension and it was day and night between the two. They were probably never intended for my car.
