    Bert is in my driveway...won't start...

    Check for a voltage drop coming off the battery connectors. You might need to cut out some wire and out in a new connector.

    What causes oil leaks? I live in Korea

    Check the front main seal, it is common for it to leak and for the oil to run along the top of the oil pan while driving and gather where you see it. The front seal does not sound as hard to replace and I bought one, but I also added some STP high mileage oil treatment at my last oil change...

    A Driver's side Thunking Mystery

    Switch your front tires and see if the noise moves. While it is jacked up see if you feel any movement in the front tire that would indicate the bearing is starting to go. Feel for more heat on the right vs left side to see if the bearing is generating more heat. If you have over 100K...

    Mystery P0300 root cause?

    I will have to check out my belt tensioner. I have been getting P0300 periodically but none since my AC compressor crapped out and the AC clutch broke. I was following with interest your "AC ripple" comment. Glad you solved it.

    AC compressor broke clutch bolt trying to turn it

    So it looks like I got 7 years from the last AC kit I installed. From the factory AC lasted 10-11. Time to do it again. The kit was installed by me, so I could be part the blame for it lasting 7 years.

    AC compressor broke clutch bolt trying to turn it

    My AC clutch melted down, stunk and stopped working. It smelled like burning rubber according to my daughter. So my AC no longer works. To try to diagnose it, I removed the belt and tried to turn it clockwise with the bolt. The compressor turned but not easily. After a couple of turns...

    Anyone have their AC switch go bad

    To revisit a year later ..... Finger crossed I fixed the AC. For a year I have had intermittent AC when I have it on re-circle or the upper vents, but 100% ac compressor kicking in when on defrost. No more check engine lights when the compressor kicks in, so that mush have been just because...

    Brakes engage intermittently ESC light flashes

    My new hubs came with brand new sensors. They too were good for a little while. Keep investigating other issues and hopefully you will find it. Swap the tires around and see what happens

    Brakes engage intermittently ESC light flashes

    I chased an issue like this for a long time. I had new ABS sensors with my hubs. I eventually changed them out for higher quality sensors up front and it fixed the problem. If one is off a little get rid of that one and swap it out. I will have to look and see what brand I went with. I paid...

    Clicking sound 05 liberty sport front drive shaft

    Great, you will be rolling with 4WD in no time. I have to admit when I had a similar notice I was convinced it was my intermediate shaft because I had already done the rear joint with a subpar parts. I did a big breakdown, pulled the CV axle and intermediate shaft only to find out I had the...

    Clicking sound 05 liberty sport front drive shaft

    as long as you want until you want 4H or 4L. They sold these in RWD only -- so you will develop empathy for those who did not pay for 4WD. I chased so many noises and it ended up being the rear joint on that front drive shaft. You can order a full replacement and if you do Google how to...

    Clicking sound 05 liberty sport front drive shaft

    How is the boot on the rear of the front drive shaft. That boot gets crack and lets water in. Driveshaftparts.com is where a lot of us get the parts to rebuild the rear joint on the drive shaft. Also, you can removed the front drive shaft and drive without it (just don't put in 4 wheel...
