    Oil Fill & Dipstick Hard To Reach

    I still like to change my own oil. I was struck by how hard to reach the oil fill and dipstick are on this generation's 2.3L. I really have to lean over the grille far to reach them, plus the strut tower brace doesn't help. I imagine at the quickie lube places everyone's fenders are getting...

    Goodbye Ex

    After 3 great years with the Ex and 1 final bad year, I finally had enough and traded her in on a heavily discounted Durango. I will miss her, and I'm kind of sad to buy something other than a Ford in over 20 years, but the Durango just seemed like the most bang for the buck. Goodbye all!

    Road Vibrations Through Steering Wheel / Floorboards

    I have excess road vibrations (not tire wobble) coming through the steering wheel, pedals and floorboards. Definitely something loose down there. I had the front suspension checked out by a tire place a few months ago and they found nothing loose or excessively worn. So I probably just have...

    Steering Vibration & Steering Rack Noise

    Since I had some major engine work (head gaskets) done over a month ago I've noticed more road noise-type vibrations coming up through the steering wheel and maybe some in the pedals too. The steering is not noticeably looser necessarily, but it's just more vibration as if something is loose...
