is an intermittent knock/clatter from the front of the engine (sound

Whining/grinding noise on PT Cruiser by
John Foyt[_2_]
I've got a problem with my PT Cruiser and thought I'd ask the group
here about it.
At about 20 miles an hour I start to hear what sounds like a grinding
noise. It starts low in pitch and gets higher as I go faster.
My mechanic was dismissive of the problem and didn't even address it
when I last...

Well, I can't believe it but I've forgotten how to change the

It was warm in Baltimore yesterday, and a good day to flush the
cooling system. Lebaron, ''95, 3.0L V6.

Chrysler 5th Avenue Rims by
Bob AZ
I have a 1986 Chrysler 5th Avenue. Yesterday I bought new tires and
the extenders from the rim to attach the hubcaps are of different
lengths. Short ones on the rear and longer ones on the front. The tire
folks said the rims in the front are different than the rear rims. I
don't know which ones are...

How do I find a broken wire. by
mm
I have a 100 foot orange extension cord that doesn't work.
Usually when I cut one in half with a hedge trimmer, it's fairly easy
to find the defect. And then I fix it.
Other times I use pins to check continuity near the plug or socket,
where cords usually break.
But this time the problem is...

Drive train noise in Jeep Liberty 4x4 by

I recently acquired a 2005 Jeep Liberty, 3.7 engine 4x4. Mileage is
going on 80k. I thought the noise I heard on dry pavement was due to
worn rear tires but tire change didn't affect the noise. You notice a
thumping noise at about 20 mph that increases in frequency and turns

Wiper Refills for a 2001 Cruiser on a 2004 Jeep Liberty? by
Pete E. Kruzer[_2_]
I bought a pair for my 2001 PT Cruiser. Then I found out it needed a
water pump (may as well replace the timing chain while it's torn
apart), motor mounts, and two tires. I got rid of this money pit and I
still have my wiper refills. My daughter has a 2004 Jeep Liberty that
calls for 19" blades....

What AM/FM CD player will fit a 2003 Dodge Stratus by

I want to replace the AM/FM CD player that was removed by the previous
owner for this vehicle.
What other years and models will fit?
It uses the single 22-pin connect with the *thin* antenna cable. The
22 pin connector was used starting mid-way through 2002. I believe
that it also uses the 4...

86 Chrysler 5th avenue. AC Update to R134 fitting. by
Bob AZ
When someone updated my AC to R134, the replacement fitting is too
close to the bracket that connects the hose to the compressor. It will
not allow the quick connector from the guages to be used.
Will I be able to remove the fitting and reattach using an extender?
Thanks

I've followed the instructions in the service manual and all that does is
pull the alternator toward the front of the car to the limit of the bracket

with 123,000 miles, it looks amazingly good. I put a new suspension
