Volvo tranny torque mount and Chinese-crap-but-in-stock passenger side mount. I should have mentioned these were replaced 3k ago during routine maintenance. This problem has surfaced in the past 1000 miles. FYI the cheapo Chinese mount does look rock solid while the upper mount exhibits it's 2 inche...

I've replaced the passenger side engine mount (behind the wheel)and the transmission torque mount link on the driver side. Can you tell much by a visual inspection or is dis-assembly required?

I have a "what's wrong?" type of vibration in steering wheel at idle and while driving at low speeds. Watching from above as wife shifts between Drive/Reverse repeatedly there is about 2 inches of forward and backward play at the top motor mount. Upon inspection the rubber insert appears i...

Stop That chamber is supposed to be filled with oil. If you took out the chamber plug and it was leaking from there then you are fine. If you close it and the leak stops you are fine.

Your heater core is actually quite easy to get to compared to other cars. The heater core is at the bottom of your center dash console. Remove the kick panels on each side of your console and it will be in full view. You will probably see some staining and deposits (or antifreeze!) that will confirm...

Is there a trick to reading/entering those stinking cats? I am on attempt #10!

They tell you to enter "letters" but sometimes I see what is either a "9" or a "g".

Noticed the SRS light was on before I bought it but NOW I notice the steering wheel wobbles as though it is not securely tightend down to the steering column. Hmmmmm....... How do I tear get into the wheel mount stuff without eating the a...
