AC Clutch bearing question - Dodge Caliber
Not to change the subject but.....
Have you looked at your front or rear cross members?
We have an '07 and an '09.
2009 has only 36,000 miles.
I changed the front brakes getting ready for state inspection. Afterwards I took it for a test ride and knew something was really wrong. I thought I hadn't tightened the lug nuts. Nope. The lower control arm had broken away from the crossmember.
Luckily, there's a 10 year recall warranty and Chrysler fixed it free. This is the car my wife usually drives and if it had broken while she was driving I don't know if she'd have recognized the danger she woulda been in.
Lucky too that it broke in our driveway while it was sitting on jack stands.
