Re: wheel balance / shimmy issues at high speed

I had the same problem when I switched to summer tires (same tires I used last summer) So I brought it back and the tire shop used this really nice Hunter wheel machine. It's like a dyno for tires. They also found a heavy spot on one tire so they turned the tire 180 degrees on the rim and that took ...

need help with P0141 DTC

A couple of months ago I got a P0420 code. I took it to the shop and being that the car only has 50K miles we deceided it was a faulty HO2 Sensor (after cat). The problem went away for a couple days then I got a P0141 (P0420 never came back so I'm thinking the cat is o.k.) I took the car back to the ...

Also you can put the car in ...

Re: "sounds like lifter"

What about a bad exhaust manifold gasket or cracked manifold. I've seen this before when a car ticks when cold then tick goes away after warmup. That might explain why it goes away in the warmer months. As far as WOT runs, all I have to say is "if whomping on it is what I have to do to keep my car ...

Re: Anybody have a tech 2 in the NH area to fix my steering prob

does the tech 2 tell you what the current setting is or do you just make a new selection. I think mine was factory before the new rack and now it's light because I can't imagine it getting any lighter
