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: I have a service manual if anybody needs help
I took a look today and couldn't locate a schematic for the steering system I'll keep looking as the manual can be a little tricky finding things sometimes. the only thing I did find is this drawing(having trouble posting the drawing) although I don't believe this is what your looking for because it ...

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
Oh okay I get it. Well hopefully I'll be able to get involved when they do it so I can select what I want. I know I sound picky but I want the car I test drove, not the car I test drove that steers like an old ladys lincoln now

the dealer says the rack is set at factory calibration when they get it, any changes from factory they charge for.

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
