[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15702231, member: 9628"] Looking at bolt heads is a quick way to tell if something has been changed/modded, same with nuts. If a car is being sold as "never been modded", there would be no reason for blower bolts to have signs of socket/wench marks on the heads (unless Ford did something under warranty, and there is documentation at Ford for that), same with suspension, most of the suspension bolts have a coating on them for protect from rusting, that coating can seldom be duplicated. There would be no reason for wrench/socket marks on those suspension bolt heads or nuts if the car is a "virgin". Always look at the bolt heads on the commonly modded items on these cars, if there were "bolt-on" items previously installed and then there was a "back to stock sale", the bolt heads will show that the bolts/nuts have been loosened/tightened.
