Dodge MagnumThe Dodge Magnum, the wagon that made wagons cool. The unique look of the Dodge Magnum makes any trim level, from SE to SRT-8, an absolute head turner.
Even though my car isn't in the recall range, for the heck of it I just wanted to check to see if the radiator support bolts were stripped like on many other cars. They are certainly on real tight and I didn't want to chance snapping the bolts. I don't know, maybe they are supposed to be real tight, but I'm not going to bother with them any further.
When I took mine in for the recall, the service advisor passed on the issue
of the snapping bolts to the mechanic. It was relayed to me that it was
likely the bolts were being removed with an air wrench....too much torque,
too fast.
I was using a socket wrench with a 3/8" drive and those bolts felt awfully tight so I let them be.
Maybe they would break loose easily, but I didn't want to chance it.
