  6. Dodge Caliber Mechanical Problems and Questions
    I have a creaking noise that is coming from both sides (or middle) of the back end. Originally I went under and lubricated and greased everything and that solved about 80% of the problem for a week or so. I keep going from thinking that it is the brakes to the shocks and back again. it makes the...

  11. Dodge Caliber Mechanical Problems and Questions
    Just got a quote from the dealer telling me I needed RT outer tie rod ends (replaced once already on warranty), both rear lateral links, and both rear toe links (replaced twice already, once on warranty). This seems a bit much for a 2007 car. I have question the service manager and he kept...

    Nope, not a new name for a breakfast cereal :gr_grin:. It's the sound coming from the left-hand front side when i take a right turn. When i go left there's no sound from the front end. Left LCA was renewed last year. There was a groan (like rubber thats too tight) so i sprayed all the...

    I just read an article in Popular Mechanics that really surprised me. It stated that bad grounding between the battery and engine block or transmission can cause premature wear out of suspension components. This can be wheel bearings, CV joints, ball joints, and any other moving point of the...

    Hello Everyone! My 07 SXT has reached the 75,000 mile mark and the OEM suspension is suffering. With a slight jerk of the steering wheel the body rolls for 3 seconds! The solution should be easy enough - Replace the struts and springs. I expect I will lower the car 1" or so as this is a daily...

    I don't know if it's always been that way but looking at my car last night I noticed that the rear Driver's side is at least .5" lower than the Passenger side.

    So I want to get some lowering springs put on the caliber, I have seen a few, the ones that fit my college student budget say they are Front Drop : 1.3 inch; Rear Drop : 1.2 inch Somehow that doesn't seem like that would be noticeable, and not even worth the money. I am I missing the logic or...

    So I've been having an issue with noises, that almost sound like a moaning/grinding noise coming from the front driverside wheel area of my 2007 Caliber.

  19. Dodge Caliber Mechanical Problems and Questions
    My 2009 Caliber has pulled to the left since day one. I have had it at the dealer for an alignment and they said it was off slightly and supposedly corrected it, but it made no difference. If I'm on the local two lane divided highway in the right hand lane, it will pull right over the crown in...
