auto zone or advanced has them for about $45. just replaced mine and followd bleed instructions and it has a little whine to it you may be better in long run to motorcraft if its only 90

u think i should get one from autozone or advance? advance's is alittle more expensive..i forget the name but its almost 100 dollars..but like a 50 dollar core charge...
the autzone one is only like 65 with a 20 dollar core charge or something..and that is a Atsco or something? both are lifetime warrenty i believe...

up to you just because you pay more from advanced auto doesnt mean it is any better. I would go with autozone i bought one for my 95 lx a long time ago it was nice while you are there make sure you get the tool to swap the pullies it is not something you should have laying around. and it is a loaner so once you bring it back you get 100% re-fund plus your core charge. Good luck
