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

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

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?

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

good luck with your repairs, i am sure someone on here MIGHT help you

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

no such thing anymore, computer is the future and will cost more

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,,,

Jkeaton,, LOL i was trying to be nice

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........

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

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

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

i would go with either the Moog or oem part cost a bit more but always better quality

welcome to the group, make sure you cruise thur the forum for info on your upgrades like the nav radio

How Does Camber Impact Alignment? Posted: Monday, July 8th 2013 A proper alignment ensures that all four wheels are in the recommended position for your type of vehicle. This is fundamental to preserving both your vehicle’s safety and the tread life on your tires. The way each wheel is positioned on your vehicle is determined by three primary measurements: camber, caster, and toe. These measurements have standards that a technician uses as targets of adjustment (depending on the type of vehicle). Generally, the goal is to get as close as you can to these standards. In this article, we’ll review camber. Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the front tires as viewed from the front of the vehicle. The actual camber angle is the measure (in degrees) of the difference between the wheels’ vertical alignment perpendicular to the surface. If a wheel is perfectly perpendicular to the surface, its camber would be 0 degrees. Camber is described as negative when the top of the tires tilt inward. Consequently, when the top of the tires tilt away from the vehicle it is considered positive. Camber is used to distribute load across the entire tread. Improper camber can make the tire wear on one edge and may cause the vehicle to pull to the side that has the most positive camber. Zero camber will result in the most uniform tire wear over time, but may reduce performance during cornering. The optimal camber setting will depend upon your vehicle type, your driving style and the conditions the vehicle is being driven in.

Moog RK100119 Control Arm amazon Brand: MOOG Chassis Products this is for the upper rear trailing link/control arm the OEM is NON adj you can only replace it with this if the rear gets out of wack it can be adj.... i had mine done couple of yrs ago cost me around $90 each from a quick lane shop plus install ( it was bad weather and didnt want to fool doing it myself) and as you see it is just 2 bolts, you will need to do both sides,and you will need a 4 wheel alignment which usually runs about $70-90...this should solve your problem hopefully.....good luck Price: $74.16

might take a day or so but someone will know the answer for you if you can wait,take care

nope

LOL i seen them videos,,,,,,i have never used one and never had a problem, didnt even lose any presets on the radio, you must have done something wrong if it was working before the battery change, good luck on finding out what happened

which engine might help?

never heard this one,sounds like a short

no mention of your miles on the journey but probally due since its a 2011 might be a good idea to have the filter and fluid changed along with the rad coolant

didnt know it was an awd journey, hope it isn't to big of a repair bill, report back on the fix and cost for other posters that might have the same problem....good luck and stay safe

welcome to the group, dont know what trans quirk you are talking about but the journeys are prone to have a clunk now and then when going from park to drive or vice verses, and make some creaking noises going over speed bumps or uneven pot holes
