Hello my friend, hope you are not tired of me yet...lol, Just wanted to give you an update. So far the struts, the swaybar links, the control arms and one ball joint on the right side have been replaced. With all that I still have the rumbling , llike somethings loose on the right side. Currently I am having my motor mount for the transmission re-replaced because the new mount was defective per the mechanic shop. So, I don't where to search now would it possibly be tie rods or maybe something else..
@@richardhill2379 not tired of you yet at all. lol. I’ve been down the same path you have. It’s really annoying when you can’t find a simple clunk sound and everything seems to be OK or replaced. Very frustrating. I hope you can get it figured out so I can fix mine lol
Great video !!, the motor mount replacement was the desert. Also, what was the signs that you had to replace the motor mount and how many moter mounts are on the engine ?...sorry for all the questions there my friend.
@@richardhill2379 thanks for washing, if you usually find out, you have a bad motor amount with excessive movement of the motor when shifting gears. You might also notice that your acceleration on the vehicle from a standstill diminished. That’s because the motor is excessively moving before it’s allowing it to put the torque to the wheels. A good visual inspection also helps, if you see any cracking or tearing of the rubber material, it needs to be replaced. There are traditionally four motor mounts on a vehicle. Two for the engine and two for the transmission.
@@copenhagenblue8417 Thank you for the wisdom on this, I greatly appreciate it., When driving I hear alot of clunking noise, sounds bad. Hopefully the clunking will go away with the control arm replacement..
@@richardhill2379 Control arms are usually a good place to start, but it could also be ball joints, swaybar links, or upper strut mounts. I’ve gone through and replaced everything and I still have a clunk, it drives me nuts.
@@copenhagenblue8417 Could it be maybe the bushings on the swaybar, I had my tie rods replaced awhile back and the mechanic told me the bushings were worn, they replaced em and the wierd knocking disappeared. I will follow your suggestion on the control arms for sure, you kinow your stuff. I will keep you up to date but I have a situation I got to jump on first in the morning. I opened my hood and there is a puddle of oil on my transmission housing. I drive a dodge journey 2.4 liter 2015. so I got to figure out how that oil got there.
@@richardhill2379 I was thinking that mine was the tie rod ends, but I can't feel any play. So if I replace them, then I have to get an alignment which is not cheap. But I have actually replaced the bushings on the sway bar, once with the wrong size and it did make it better once I installed the correct size. On the top of the transmission there are two cooler lines that have o-rings on them, one could be leaking. There isn't too much else up there that can cause it. If you watch the video I just posted about replacing the transmission high/low pressure solenoid, you will see the lines.. might be worth checking out. But good luck!
@@dustincercado those are MOOG sway bar links. Part number K750382, they carry a lifetime warranty through rock auto. Currently, they’re $19.41 each. Thanks for watching.
Negative camber would adjusted by the camber bolts on the rear subframe. The only problem is that they are more than likely frozen with rust and won't break loose. Last time I had an alignment, the shop offered to try and adjust it, but knew it would probably end badly. Mine wasn't out of adjustment too much, so I just left it.
Thank you for sharing this project I'm sure a 2016 journey is the same concept
Thank you for watching!

What brand sway bar links are those? I like how you can grease them on your own.

Do you know how to fix negative camber on this vehicle? I bought 2 control arms but I don't want to take it apart until I know for sure
