nsterns Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Are there special strut kits (springs and all) for the 4 cylinder Journey. I ordered and installed struts for mine and I'm pretty sure they are for a six cylinder. They work fine,but they raised the front end up a little. Also the traction control light came on and stayed on. Now I don't have cruise control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Maybe it's by model? i.e. RT. Crew .Basic? AWD might have different suspension also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most aftermarket complete struts are "one size fits all", the ride height difference is from the SPRING rating and not the strut. IF you just installed them, give it a couple weeks to "settle in" as the ride height will probably lower down some. The Traction control light and loss of cruise is from a damaged wheel speed sensor. Auto parts stores will pull codes for free{resist buying needed parts from them...unless price is good},to tell you what specific corner the problem is on. larryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsterns Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 Thanks for the replies. Going to wait and see what the traction control light does after I get the front end re-aligned. Saw somewhere on here that if the steering wheel is not clocked dead center it will cause the light to stay on. More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found any part stores ( orileys,advance auto, autozone) around me that can check abs codes with their meters. the mid grade ($150-200) harbor freight meters have the capacity to check them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
