Back when I had to replace both of my lower front ball joints on my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, I also replaced both of the upper front ball joints. Then replaced all 4 of the sway bar drop links. The upper ball joints were starting get a little bad, so went ahead and did them. The drop links didn't appear to be bad, but figured I would replace them anyway since I was already down there doing some work. I also replaced the inner and outer tie rod ends. They were starting to get a little bad. Then, I replaced both front hub assemblies as the bearings were starting to make some noise and was having a problem with both of the front wheel speed sensors. I don't know if they had ever been replaced before I got the vehicle and it was at about 200,000 miles on it. There is still a few other things I want to get done, but that is going to have to wait for the warmer weather. I don't think the brakes need done yet, still some pad left but I am going to replace the front and rear brakes this summer. I also got some of the window visors to install. I am also planning on pulling the instrument cluster soon and opening it up and resoldering some of the connections as the tach is acting up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, if you hit the dash, it works. Sounds like a broken solder joint to me. I am trying to get everything repaired that is acting up. I will also have to replace some of the bulbs in the radio and the steering wheel buttons as some are burned out.
Westminster, CA here, home of Little Saigon. Love this video because: 1) You are working on a 2008 Dodge Avenger that is Silver Steel Metallic - same year, make, model, AND color as mine except that I have the R/T with the 3.5 L V6 engine. 2) You explain everything so well and precisely and in a relaxed and relaxing voice. 3) You used a Vietnamese song from 10:20 on called Nguyen Vat Lieu by Dai Kieu... if anybody wanted to know what it was called. Extra kudos to you, sir. Now, at 14:20, did someone forget to put his seat belt on? I know that chime from anywhere. Hehehehe All kidding aside, thank you for the step-by-step instructions on how to replace the SB end links. You have a new subscriber. =)
Watching from Sweden.. Denmark, Norway and Poland are closing their borders to stop the Coronavirus outbreak.. So we are stuck here to ride out the pandemic!
Just got 2009 Avenger and only thing wrong with it is that awful sound from this. Will be buying parts and doing it on our hoist so should make it a little easier and quicker. Watching from Ohio
At work watching from Ontario CA Has anyone ever had a problem with the car turning off as you're driving it almost seems like maybe a vapor lock I have a 2008 Dodge avenger
Nathan Rohrbough I believe it as after further examination. I recently had the transmission rebuilt by a shop and I reinstalled it so I rulled out the noise coming from there. I believe it’s an exhaust leak near my right side exhaust manifold or somewhere nearer where the y pipe bolts to it. Hoping I didn’t snug the exhaust down enough after reinstallstion. The engine pulling like normal makes me also think it’s not something wrong

Hey Nathan I have a 2002 mercury mountaineer. It has a pretty loud metal chopping tap sound under load only notice it when going like 55?
I’m hoping it’s an exhaust leak
