  1. Yeah this has been an ongoing problem. I have replaced every suspension part that could be a potential issue. Still haven't had any luck but I will definitely try this one! What part of the front do I tighten? And where?
  2. Awesome thanks so much for the tips, I will definitely try it!
  3. Also I must say that the rattling I had prior was due to the hub bearings and because the hub bearings were going my tie rod ends kept popping and splitting. And yes sometimes it can be the bushings but not in every circumstance it also depends on what work has already been done on the vehicle and how it is driven. But to be fair if it's not the bushings or the sway bar links or the sway bar bushings then it's probably the hub bearings or the tie rod ends. I only know this because I have been through all the options on what it could have been I replaced everything that I thought it was and the only thing that fix the problem was replacing the hub bearings along with the tie rod ends to save myself any future problems and that seemed to do the trick.
  4. Okay so I'm a Dodge fan, however, I am not a fan of the journeys. I would definitely say that the Dodge Journeys were one of the worst makes Chrysler has made. And the most common problem I have noticed with my journey after owning it for 5 years is that the suspension parts seem to go a lot quicker and I'm not even hard on my vehicle. I have replaced many parts on this vehicle however the most common one I have replaced is the hub bearings and the tie rod ends. Mind you I have only had to replace one side each of the front hub bearings so that's not as bad as some but the tie rod ends seem to not work well if they're not properly greased inside the nipple. I believe that I only have had to replace the hub bearings because my SUV is getting pretty old and I am not the first driver. I was lucky enough to get an honest opinion from a Dodge mechanic and he told me that he figured that my suspension was sweating. Now generally speaking I'm not very good with mechanical terms but I have researched this and it seems to be common among the journeys. So I have decided that as a dedicated Dodge fan I have decided to buy the dodge truck and trade this up. Because had I had to pay for all of this work out of pocket it would have caused me tens of thousands of dollars to fix the amount of suspension things I have so therefore my best advice is try to get out of your journey and upgrade to something else because I was fortunate to have a mechanic do the work for me but not everybody will have that option. There is only one positive I can honestly say about my journey is the gas mileage is phenomenal, and it's sad that's the only positive I can say ☹
  5. We already replaced front and rear sway bar bushings and also the sway bar links but still is makingthe same noise so that isn't the problem
  6. Does anyone have a solution for this yet? Cause I have a 2012 version and have literally replaced all my suspension parts and tightened all bolts and still no luck!
