No Tim. $46 for the front and $42 for the rear.



Back to the subject of water pumps. On some of these replies it goes to show you that some people are their own problem when doing DIY work. I wonder how many actually torqued the pump down correctly as I mentioned in my prior replies.

When you have a water pump failure obviously you replace it and I have no issues with that. Replacing known good parts capriciously and arbitrarily is what I do not agree with. If we were to accept and apply that theory as good maintenance practice then we are all in trouble or time to sell it or trade it in. That is all I have to say. The rest of you can continue to ramble on.
