Consumer Description

ENGINE HAD A CLATTER NOISE AND SHORT BLOCK WAS REPLACED. EVER SINCE, THERE HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHENEVER VEHICLE IS RUNNING - DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MOVING.

REAR AXLE HOUSING HAD OIL LEAK DUE TO AXLE TUBE NOT SEATED PROPERLY INTO CENTER HOUSING. COMPLETE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS.
