need advice on O2 sensor

my CEL was on so i went to autozone and they ran the ODB2 and i got an O2 code error so he went back inside and wrote down the replacement part which is a bosch part number 13948. I just went to oxygensensors.com and tehy have four different O2 sensors for the one that is located in front manifold/exhaust pipe before catalyst on left side. They dont have the bosch but the one that caught my eye was the walker one for $60 dollars. What do you guys think about that sensor, is it really ****ty since its so cheap? Should i do it or get a bosch?

Also since im posting why not ask this question lately when i start up my car and i turn the wheel all the way i get a whining noise. Is that because of the cold or is it somethin. Also i got new brakes installed a month ago and they squeek is that normal? is there anythin to do to stop the squeeking.

Thanks for all your help guys

I just checked and bosch is showing up (when I put it in for a '96 Max, I didnt see what year you had). Bosch is just the original brand of 02 sensor used on the car and I haven't heard that walker are worse or anything like that.

Just make sure you DO NOT get a universal one. Spend the extra cash and get the OEM ones and you will have plug and play and not have to worry about wiring stuff and splicing wires.

You might be smart while you have the cash to buy the two for the y-pipe while you're under your car. If you don't have an after market y-pipe that gets rid of all the pre-cats it might be a pain to work on. Stock y-pipes don't leave too much room to move around up in there. Have fun with this!
