If you are unsure about @ what speed a front end vibration comes from, check if the wobble comes and goes when you are accelerating (i.e. engine is under load) versus when you are coasting. Or maybe you're not unsure - just mentioning it! Vibration more specifically under load would be a sign to loo...

MVS correct diagnosis in 4 hours. Not bad.

- I'd undo the strut bolts/nuts.
- Heat the nut side for a good 1 min (propane torch is about $10-$15 at hardware store). I will come loose.
- Get a iron pipe about 2 feet long (used for natural gas piping) + breaker bar, it will come out. It is 18 mm and 21 mm as you mentioned.

Regarding the axle. What you need to do is hit penetrant around the axle splines/wheel bearing mating area. Loosen but do not remove the axle bolt. Use a 3/8" extension or any other means to strike the bolt head with a small hammer. This will break it free and allow it to move back. It is reall...

The big nut on the balljoint should loosen with the impact wrench, its a tapered stud so put some force on the joint to jam the stud from spinning. The counterhold in the stud isn't much use except when installing new. Try a small jack under the control arm near the balljoint nut to jam the balljoin...

You have a major refrigerant leak. Get a UV light and check to find where it is. It is possible you may have to shim the compressor as well, look into the breadclip/ziptie trick. Your EVAP code has to do with the emissions system, not the A/C evaporator temperature thermistor, which can ohmed out ea...

No special coloring required for UV light? I have the same issue as OP. I basically over some span had my refrigerant leak out last year with hissing behind dashboard but only for a few moments at a time. With the heats now, it has become unbearable in the car, at the same time any charging which co...

You will hear hissing in front of the dashboard during normal AC operation as the refrigerant equalizes pressure between high and low side , with the engine off. Any refrigerant leak you can hear will discharge the system in minutes.

These cars shipped with UV dye added to the factory charge I believe, there’s a sticker stating it on mine.

Get yourself A/C kit with gauges and vacuum pump like that: https://www.amazon.com/VIVOHOME-Manifold-Conditioning-Refrigeration-Recharging/dp/B07LBLDZ89 You are supposed to vacuum the system very well in order to evacuate all the trapped moisture before adding new refrigerant. If it sat open for too...
