Front End "Clunk" while Braking Over Bumps
Bubba replied to JRodMTB's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
Two years ago I had a clunk noise in mine going over small bumps or turning into driveway. They told me it was the tie rod had a very small amount of play in it , they replaced it and noise was gone . Now it`s back again , I checked the tie rods and again there is just a small amount of play in them, going with after market ones this time maybe last a little longer . -
It was minus 28 c here on Sunday and would not start . Had to replace the battery .

I am pretty sure it is 2.5 inch in and 2.5 out offset same side for muffler .

strut and bearing replacement, floaty steering
Bubba replied to dodgejourney2012's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
I have a 2010 and have had to replace tie rod end on driver side twice , one was under warranty . And I don`t drive it in the autocross and only have 43000 km on it . -
I have jeep srt viper replica rims on my 2010 , same bolt pattern . 5 x 5 or 5 x 127 metric . they are 20 x 9 inch and had no problems . Another guy on here lawdog has the jeep srt rims on his, should check with him . Most places will tell you that a rim wider than 7 inch will not fit , 9 inch fit fine 10 will need a spacer .

Anyone Have a problem with the car not starting?
Bubba replied to ValP's topic in Engine & Transmission
I had the same thing happen to me last week . turn the key and only a click . Took 4 tries before it started , it has only happened one time on me . -
The max pressure of 51 psi is for when they are installing the tire on the rim . ( setting the bead )

We did a road trip to Columbus Ohio over this past weekend , around 1400 km round trip and averaged 9.2 L / 100km or 25.5 mpg . 3.5 L engine . Two adults and child with back full of luggage , A/C on and did 120 to 130 kph most of the way . I think that is pretty good , what do you guys think .

9 inch wide rim is about all you can do any more and you will have rubbing . bolt pattern is 5 x 5 standard or 5 x 127 metric . A 245 / 45 tire on a 20 inch rim works . I think the offset is + 43 but not to sure of that .

I always say a clean engine is a happy engine ,when we sold my wife`s old 2003 SX 2.0 two years ago the people that bought it could not believe how clean it was under the hood , still looked new .

I wash my engine every time I wash the Journey , just soap and water from garden hose . Never had any problems and have done this with all my vehicles .
-
I never take it out of drive , just foot off the gas pedal and let it coast until I get just under speed limit then back on the gas .

Installing HID lights on your Journey (step by step)
Bubba replied to email4walker's topic in Accessories, Modifications
Yes it has that and other led on the sides . -
I have been able to get mine down to 6.9L / 100KM . Hypermiling , letting off before a hill and coasting . It will coast for a long time without the speed dropping too much . Smooth easy accelerating .

NAPA Wedge Blind Spot Mirror
Bubba replied to im2techy's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
I read in a popular mechanics magazine how to set your side mirrors , lean to your left and touch your head on door post and set mirror so you just see back corner of car then lean to right as far as you can without lifting off the seat and set mirror so you just see the back corner also . You will be amazed how it will eliminate your blind spot. As the car behind you starts to go out of view in your rear view mirror it starts coming into view in your side mirror . It takes a little to get use to but I do it all the time when driving on multilane highways . -

I have 20x9 rims with 245 / 45 hankook tires , the ride is a little more stiff but not too bad, on the other hand it handles alot better. Corners like it`s on rails .

I got them from Factory Reproduction wheels in California , bolt pattern for Journey is 5 x 127 or 5 x 5 the offset I think was +40 same as a Jeep Grand Cherokee . The 300 is a 5 x 115 . Most wheel company will tell you that 7.5 inch is as wide as you can fit on Journey mine are 9 inch wide with no problems , You will have the bigger brakes on your Journey but should wheels should fit the same .
