    Steering wheel noise when turning

    Thank you for posting this. Mine just came loose today, must be from the AZ heat. How did you secure it? Epoxy?

    No power to rearview mirror

    I know this is from forever ago, but I just bought an '08 with the same issue. I'm reading through the fuses in the manual and I don't even see the fuse for the mirror. Any luck fixing it? Thanks

    Lower Ball Joint Replacement 2008

    I have a 2 foot breaker bar and a new DeWalt impact wrench rated with 700 foot pounds of torque and 1,200 foot pounds of breakaway torque. I'm hoping it can make the job a lot easier, but it really depends on the rust.
