    Quick thanks to all members

    We picked up a 2005 Nissan Quest. It has reasonable mileage and was priced on point. It also has a little more of an SUV look compared to other minivans. The wife test drove several models, Town and Country, Winstar, Quest. She liked the overall look and drive of the Quest the best out of...

    Last interior noise FOUND.

    I just recently found one that was KILLIN me for months. A cable holding metal bracket that was above/beside my tranny came loose and was rubbing metal on metal on the tranny. I ripped the while center console out trying to find it, and was eventually able to find it from below and pull it out...

    Rubbing noise upfront

    Get down underneath and look for the body mount right below your foot board. If it looks like the one in the picture below, it is probably the culprit and needs to be changed. Also, it is likely if you have one bad, then all the center 4 are bad (upper and lower) and need to be replaced...

    Ball Joints

    Check for online coupons for your auto parts store. You can easily get 20-30% off orders over $100, free shipping (or in store pickup). I never order anything at the counter anymore when I can easily save $20-$50 by placing my order via the website with a coupon.

    transMISSION ACCOMPLISHED?

    Have been having an intermittent OD flash for a few months. Trans got worse and worse and the slippage got worse and worse. Tried Lucas Trans fix and it got even worse still. Last ditch effort before taking to the shop, I followed a project here on this wonderful website and changed my own...

    Gen1 Urethane vs. Gen2 Butyl Rubber Body Mounts

    To be honest, the bushing on the front end (upside down one) in that diagram looks very similar to the bushings that came out of my Gen1.

    Tranny Not shifting

    My ST is around 110k. I had two instances of the OD light blinking in the past year, they went away after restarting. Within the last month I have started having a flare between 2nd and 3rd. I tried Lucas Transmission fix and it got instantly worse... time for me to drop at a shop to get a pro...

    The Squeak; Part Deux!

    So I have been having this squeak issue (I have posted about it before). I thought it was coming from inside the cab, so I basically ripped the whole dash out, then the whole center console, came to the top panel/hatch for the transmission and found that the squeak is coming from around the top...

    Should I trust my dealer service center?

    Similar incident here. Wife's Santa Fe was at the body shop to fix a damaged fender due to a collision a few weeks ago. She picked up the car and brought home and I could hear a loud knocking from the engine. (Not noticeable before dropping off to body shop). Open the hood to find the oil...
