  1. Lower Control Arm Bolt for Cam Eccentrics Adjustment the lower control arm is adjustable,i believe thoes are the cam bolt and washers
  2. if you are getting a great price ,might as well replace all 4 at once and get it over with
  3. every time iv had my tires rotated the relearn takes just a few minutes or less and just thirty or forty feet to reset, yes if the problem moved with the tire then i would say its the sensor as well
  4. have done almost a hundred brake jobs for my daughters mail van and jeeps and have never used a torque wrench on thoes bolts and never had a problem just get them tight and then a bit more, if one came out then he never even got it tight to begin with probably had it finger tight
  5. when you go to remove and replace the module video and upload to you tube for others to see and learn
  6. have been following your journey on your journey,,( sorry couldn't help myself) just where is this part on the 2.4 . tried googling it but didnt see a location on it...Thanks
  7. looks like he is a 1 post wonder,shame they dont come back with what was wrong so others would know....
  8. i actually had to have my upper control arm/ trailing link to be replaced with after market kind they cost any where from 50-100 for each one but they are adjustable unlike the OEM ones are not, just a solid arm link... check amazon if you are interested in them. my 2014 seems to have a problem staying in alignment so that is why i went with the adj. kind
  9. how do you know the battery is good??, journeys like a full charge to start, have a load check done on the battery to assure you have a good battery as just checking with a meter is not enough and yes you can have enough power for lights and radios and such and your journey wont start .....as it just happened to me a few months ago and my neighbor had a jump box for jump starting and even it wouldn't crank mine,called a tow truck and he did a battery load check and yes it was bad ,new battery and NO more problems...good luck and i hope it is just the battery that is bad for you....
  10. first off welcome to the group, your manual will tell you the exact fluid to use but almost all power steering fluid is the same you can buy name brand like Preston and on the can it will say okay to use in dodge vech, or you can buy ANY the transmission fluid +4 as well,your second question since we cannot see your journey is that you DO have a leak somewhere in your system as this fluid does not evaporate,also not sure of what hydraulic power steering fluid you used, if it was right or wrong (The term “hydraulic fluid” is a general term that would refer to any fluid used in a hydraulic system. There are many different hydraulic fluids. Depending on the use, they can be mineral, synthetic, or even water based. ... However power steering fluid *IS* a hydraulic fluid) And as far as the dealership topping off your P.S. fluid that would be a concern you can bring up with the service manger and they will probally say they didnt see it low...BUT you do have a leak if your power steering unit was empty..good luck on what you find and please report back on what you find..... PS my daughter yrs ago had a power steering rack that was going bad and the seal was leaking at the ends of the rack near the drivers side but wasn't leaking as the rubber boot on the end contained it till it blew then is was easy to find
  11. so i have been seeing a lot of newer vehicles with burned out brake lights, and when you tell them they mostly say oh okay or ya i know,,,then it hit me with the new led taillight assy you just cant change a bulb anymore, it becomes a dealer oem part replacement meaning huge bucks,,,,guess sometimes new improvements doesn't always mean new and better,,,,new taillight assy $$$ VS a $1.00 light bulb...oh well
  12. most deferentially, when you take the old one off( the lower one can be adj ,,,,but the upper has no adj ability)dont move the adj on it so you can match the new one up so it will be close to the org alignment,,, but you will still need to have one done...by the way welcome to the group
  13. upper and lower control arms,not hard at all ,but from the looks of the rust,impact gun might be helpful, plenty of you tube videos as well on these replacement,will need a 4 wheel alignment afterwards as well.make sure you use some jack stands as well....good luck
  14. sounds good but dont forget to do a rad/coolant flush and coolant change as well...welcome to the group, which eng did you get i am assuming the 3.6?
  15. we have a few mech that respond with a lot of great info to most of the posters, might take a day or so for them to see your request
  16. good luck with your repairs, i am sure someone on here MIGHT help you
  17. had to google it.....LOL Jig-a-Loo All Purpose Lubricant-10.9 oz Brand: Jig-A-Loo 4.2 out of 5 stars 16 ratings Amazon'sChoicefor "jig-a-loo" Price: $8.64 Sold on Amazon
  18. no such thing anymore, computer is the future and will cost more
  19. well the shotgun theory on replacing parts fails again, you need a proper obd scanner to show which one of them are giving you the problem or if they are the problem,,,
  20. i bought most of my daughters parts for her caravan thur advance auto using retailmenot.com got great deals using this web site , that said the cv axels we used really didnt have a problem with except what usually went bad was the rubber boots that would get ripped or torn as the are on the small side compared to the OEM parts from the dealership, of course they were about 1/4 price of the OEM parts and when we needed them we had to get the part right away and couldn't wait for the dealership to have them shipped in so thats why we used advance auto.....like most things you get what you pay for........
  21. dont know what you are trying to show us? how old is your battery that would be my first thing to check or replace. good luck
  22. check out you tube for videos on how to replace,actually not that bad to replace by a diy person, replaced several on my daughters caravan when she was using it for her mail route...good luck and buy quality repair parts, the cheap ones wont last
  23. i do agree with you on the 19 inch tires not lasting, my 17 inch on my 2011 lasted almost till i traded it in at 70 k, just put on my third set of 19 inch on my 2014 at 104 k of course the second set were ruined by the rear camber getting out of whack so cant blame that on the tires, never had a problem with my 2011 getting out of alignment but this 2014 I have had a lot of problems with the alignment so much that i had after market upper rear control arm/ trailing link installed and also i purchased a lifetime alignment contract from Quick Lane auto stores ( they are owned by ford dealerships or associated with them) cost me around $180. but it has saved me a bunch of $$ so far by having it checked every 6 months when i have the tires rotated, just had it checked yesterday and both rear sides and one front side needed adjustment.... had a bad yr last yr on windshields as well had to have mine replaced 2 times last summer, other than that i stll really love the journey and for it being 6-7 yrs old i still like the looks of it
