Two years ago I had a clunk noise in mine going over small bumps or turning into driveway. They told me it was the tie rod had a very small amount of play in it , they replaced it and noise was gone . Now it`s back again , I checked the tie rods and again there is just a small amount of play in them, going with after market ones this time maybe last a little longer .

I read in a popular mechanics magazine how to set your side mirrors , lean to your left and touch your head on door post and set mirror so you just see back corner of car then lean to right as far as you can without lifting off the seat and set mirror so you just see the back corner also . You will be amazed how it will eliminate your blind spot. As the car behind you starts to go out of view in your rear view mirror it starts coming into view in your side mirror . It takes a little to get use to but I do it all the time when driving on multilane highways .

I have jeep srt viper replica rims on my 2010 , same bolt pattern . 5 x 5 or 5 x 127 metric . they are 20 x 9 inch and had no problems . Another guy on here lawdog has the jeep srt rims on his, should check with him . Most places will tell you that a rim wider than 7 inch will not fit , 9 inch fit fine 10 will need a spacer .

They look like this.

We did a road trip to Columbus Ohio over this past weekend , around 1400 km round trip and averaged 9.2 L / 100km or 25.5 mpg . 3.5 L engine . Two adults and child with back full of luggage , A/C on and did 120 to 130 kph most of the way . I think that is pretty good , what do you guys think .

I wash my engine every time I wash the Journey , just soap and water from garden hose . Never had any problems and have done this with all my vehicles .

I cleaned the snow off it again and again and again .
