Alright Mopar guys, please help me if you can.

I got an 05 STX auto with 55,000 miles and have noticed a few problems and need some help figuring them out.

First of all my driveway is uphill some and if I park it facing up and leave it overnight, It rattles and sounds like crap in the morning. Almost like it has no oil in the engine (oil levels are good)?? It is better if I park facing downhill. What could it be? Is the oil pick up in the front of the pan maybe??

2nd- If Im rolling slowly in traffic and hit the gas after coming off the brake it thumps and jerks once. Could motor mounts be bad with this many miles?? Are the trannys just sloppy??


3rd- It squeaks like crazy going over speed bumps. Are there any greasable fittings on this car?

Sorry for so many questions, I haven't got a chance to look it over much. I going to try to work on a few things over the weekend. So any advise would help.

Thanks Aaron

 

I almost forgot, the belt squeaks in the rain and a little at WOT right before it shifts. Could it just be a worn belt or do the tensioner pulleys go out at 55,000 miles?

Again sorry for so many questions.


BTW I am searching the forums right now for some of the obviouse fixes, and will delete the ? as I find an answers. I just need some help so I don't waste all weekend looking for trouble.

Thanks in advance.

 

I'm not sure on some of your questions. but i do know that the do not have any grease able fittings. i added fittings to mine and have never had problems of squeaking. It also sounds like you need a new belt. although when the belt gets wet it will squeal.

 

Yeah Im thinkin the belt would be the easier fix to start with, Did you just add grease fittings on you car, or the replacment parts came with fittings?

Thanks

 

I added the grease fittings to the originals, and some of the aftermarket stuff you can't add fittings to. at least that is my experience so far.
