  4. they are called different names but the part is fairly cheap on amazon anywhere from $20 to $50 each side and then you will need a 4 wheel alignment which runs around $95... i kept having problems with mine using the oem that is non adj so i went aftermarket and had them install the adj kind which of course is more expensive but then if it gets out of adj they can make the adj to be right again i paid around 400 for mine yrs ago it was during the winter and i didnt want to fool with installing them my self but it isn't hard, only 2 large bolts on each side check out you tube for more info on installing this part.....so that cost is extremely high for the cheaper ones which you can buy both sides for less than 100 and then plus the 4 wheel alinement........if its the rear upper control arms that are bad,,, you WILL ruin your rear tires real quick on the inside of the tires so get it fixed mine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, never made a squeak ACDelco Professional 45K0225 Rear Suspension Upper Control Arm 4.9 out of 5 stars 12 $84.78$84.78 two different brands offered on amazon price is just for 1 part so times 2= $169. i perfree this brand a lot better part and then later on if out of alignment it can be adj Metrix Premium 2 PCS Rear Upper Control Arm RK643056 Fits 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2011-2014 Dodge Avenger, 2011-2018 Dodge Journey $48 for 2 of them have never used this brand Visit the METRIX PREMIUM CHASSIS PARTS Store 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 7 ratings $48.00$48.00

    Hello from NZ

    Welcome to the group take your time and cruise thur the forum sections for a lot of great advise and some bad as well....LOL
  7. mine wasnt factory but you use a spring the screws onto the bolt thread then pulled thur the hole by a string or wire ;like shown in the video,,are using the oem wires for power i used the wiring kit and went to the battery up front ,,,if you use the factory oem wiring you will have to get the sales code authorized thur the local dealership before it will work
  8. well it also could be your heater core, but unlikely since they are a 2 zone core... start with the easier and cheaper blend door actuator first
  9. buy oem off internet or go aftermarket option, unless he can add the sales code you will still have to pay the dealership to ad the code as well
  10. google ac actuator blend doors,and or search thur the forum under Climate Control
  11. easy way to remove fluid is thur the dipstick tube harbor freight has a cheap pump to remove oil and such, i used one on my daughter's mail vehicle i would remove the fluid into a plastic coke bottle that way i always knew how much i removed then to re add the new fluid
  12. .actually i just went out and checked mine second time since i had had my trans serviced at the dealership, once at 60 k and then again at 100k and the fluid was right in the middle after i took it for a drive to heat the trans up
  13. i just edited my post recheck it for the video
  14. All my past experience with trans slippage means you will need a new trans in your future, no amount of fluid or magic trans fluids will help, but my 2001 dodge truck went a long time before i bothered to get it fixed ,of course i was going easy on it and not racing it... maybe someone else can pipe in with a better idea........just curious but how many miles on it and have you had the trans serviced before all this happening,,,,,also there is a youtube video on how to mark your oil dipstick so you can check your trans fluid i did mine yrs ago just so i could check it every once in a while......watch this guys videos also at the 10;00 mark he shows how to mark your dipstick........
  15. larry gave you some good advise on the belt,dont put it off
  16. which bolt you are talking about ,and if you cut it off how will you use a new bolt
  17. when my camera started doing that they ended up replacing the actual camera at the rear hatch, left drivers door at the rubber boot is a know wire spot for breaking or shorting out there,this has been covered in the forum check it out
  18. your choice of OEM, which the dealership can install or buy the OEM unit yourself and installed it but then you will still have to go to the dealership to have them enable it for it to work,or go aftermarket which will be cheapest ,,your choice,,, welcome to the group,,,take some time and read thur the forum of a lot of info you might have on your journey
  19. well at least you will have no problems with your knowledge on what maintenance and how to do them.i still think our Journeys are a good looking and great value vehicle for the price they cost ,wont ever be able to replace them for what they cost us.....I have been waiting on ordering a new Ford maverick hybrid truck, I didnt really want a first yr one, they open up the order book in july this yr, just wait and see if i can get in the book this yr....LOL
  20. well my tpms giving me the service tpm light so went to Discount tire shop in Madison Al and they checked them and said yep 2 out of 4 were bad on my 2014 Dodge Journey so i had them replace all 4 of them and they come with a 6 yr/72 k warranty and since they do all my tire purchases i am back on the road and happy camper,since the wife is happy everyone is happy
  21. Have never heard of this problem,,, I am assuming you have the 3.6 eng with the 6 sd trans? what mileage on the journey? have you had the trans fluids changed out, as it is due around 100 K ? and also i have to ask did they/you check the fluid level.?
  22. well i dont have any scanners or alfaobd,,,was hoping the glitch will clear by itself, but no such luck guess ill just go with the black tape over the light till i have to put it in the dealership under something else for warranty
