In your original post you mentioned checking the ball joints by trying to wiggle the tire while the car is on a lift. That procedure will NOT reveal a bad ball joint. Raise the tire off the ground slightly by jacking underneath the lower control arm, close to the drum. Now place a flat bar between the tire and the floor. Use the bar to move the tire up and down. Any play there (Chrysler says over .070 of travel) means you have a bad ball joint. - Mac |

Excellent! No criticism meant... just wanted to be sure you were checking them properly. They're pretty important things! - Mac |

She's back together! And handles 40 times better than before! I know this isn't the engine section but i was driving it after putting it all back together and it died a couple times when i stopped, I got tired of it so I pulled over and pulled off the air cleaner and a bunch of vapor went everywhere, can someone explain this to me, I've never had it happen before. Thanks, Seth |
