| Feb 201353000 miUS $3139 | Side Bearing on the front differential were bad. Car was making a speed-sensitive "rumble or roar" on local street and highway. Required replacement of inner differential bearings. Dlr advised that neoprene gaskets on the intake manifold had failed and were causing check engine light. Need to replace the gaskets to seal the intake manifold. Vehicle A/C would blow warm when stopped at light on in traffic. Dlr advised is was because the A/C fan clutch was weak and was disengaging the fan so no airflow over A/C coil. High-pitch "whistle" coming from engine compartment turned out to be bad bearing in the alternator. Dlr advised needed to be replaced. | ||
