    I finished the front wheel wells. Liners installed & flares put back on. I cut 2” off of the flares and 2-1/2” from the fenders. It took a lot longer than I expected. I thought I’d have all 4 done by now; but I don’t care. It turned out amazing.

    I have the same one. I think it's perfect not too loud just enough when you get on the gas and it doesn't sound like crap like those old 90s hondas lol

    Took it on a little 45 min. drive to my niece's house to look at her car. 2015 Chrysler 200 with a 2.4. Needs a motor (transmission) mount.
    Why in the hell does Chrysler use external Torx? I don't have the correct size so I borrowing it from a friend today.
    I also found a shortcut so as to not remove the battery tray, which is a PITA.

    Guessing you have the 4 cylinder? I ask b/c mine is in for a new frame and if it ends up needing an exhaust I might just get it done while it's there..was thinking I'd upgrade when that time comes.

    Yes it did. I even had vibrations at highway speeds lately that were fixed. I went and got the tires rebalanced since I thought it was the tires but the shop told me they were fine.

    I have a rotational squeak that is intermittent but when it does, the squeak accelerates as I do. Let off the gas, no squeak.

    I greased all my zerks, no help. I changed my u joints and my carrier bearing 33k miles ago. Carrier bearing boot looks rough.

    My setup is Bilstein 5100 on ome 885 coils w AAL. Thoughts? Time to do my u joints again?

    Picture of the carrier?

    I think what you're referring to as a "boot" is actually the support rubber "doughnut" and if that's bad and your drive shaft has more than a little play it needs replaced.

    Could be a bad wheel bearing, i had the same symptoms as you and thought it was the center carrier on the drive shaft. ended up being the wheel bearing.

    it was an embarrassing squeak too. the kind that makes people turn their heads when you are next to them at a red light.
