    I installed hyperflow cats and had some issues with the rear sensors. One was frozen in the old cat and couldn't be removed the other, well that was my fault.

    Anyway. AW Parts is right near me and I bought two sensors @ 149 each and installed them and now I see them on Rock Auto for $62. Ricambi is 125. I got Bosch product and the Rock Auto site specs Bosch for that price.

    Has anyone bought these from Rock Auto and were they Bosch?

    I'm going to go to AW Monday and argue my case but I have a feeling I'll get nowhere.

    I've dealt with Rock on several occasions. I can not speak to the O2 sensors, but the stuff I have bought was as advertised. If they say it's Bosch then it most likely is.

    No. I wanted it now. But a premium for convenience is one thing. That's to much

    Also, they are a Ferrari parts site so I would think they would want to be competitive. I just want to be sure that I'm talking apples to apples and rock isn't substituting some cheap replacement for the Bosch.

    Hi Bob. One of my dealing with Rock was for the O2 sensor for my Toyota truck. Wanted the OE Denso unit. $212 from NAPA, $112 from Rock. Same exact part.

    The '95 F355, which I have, has only one O2 sensor on each bank. I am not sure about pre/post cat for OBD2 cars.

    95 upstream Bosch sensor is different part number than either the 97 on up stream and down stream Bosch units.

    I got a few dollars back from AW on the Bosch sensors but you still don't need to pay what I did. Do your homework.

    I bought the 4 wire Bosch sensors on Amazon. About $65 for the post and around $85 for the pre. Around the same price that Rock Auto sells for but they were out of stock when I needed them.

    Below is the detail on the post sensor purchased:

    Yep..13820 is what I paid 149 for, reduced to 129 today. I did want them when I wanted them though, so its all on me.

    Sorry didn't look to see it was a 95...

    I have the Bosch ones in my 1998 and they have worked well.

    Wow! What do you say to the patient when he says he could have got that filling for $50 less down the street?

    Really FBB? I would have expected much better from you. That's what they said.

    They can't get me on google with one keystroke. I don't provide a generic product I provide a unique service. I am not in the business of competing on the Internet selling identical products that you can buy on Amazon for $100 less.

    Need I go on?

    Ridiculous analogy Carl... Come on

    April fools right ????
