Re: Cat replacement part number
I'm dumb, I can't believe I didn't look it up on Walker's website. For reference, that part number is 93236.
A quick cross reference shows a very similar sized EASTERN CATALYTIC 70257 - any...

Re: Removing Stock Chrome Roof Rails?
Did you ever do this?
Debating doing this on our '07 VUE. I'm not a fan of the rack at all.
It appears a non-roof rail cover plate is needed once removed?

Re: Been great but Bye Bye
Most just replace cars much more often.
I hear this: http://www.waxoyl-usa.com/Products.aspx?code=WAX-001&key=cat is amazing though.

Re: V6 Swaybar on a 4Cyl VUE?
Sorry, you said bushings, not swaybar bushings. I was assuming you meant control arms, links, etc. I've done that before on several cars and it is far more invasive than just swaybar bushings. Yes...

Re: V6 Swaybar on a 4Cyl VUE?
Poly bushings are an ordeal I don't really want to deal with at this point. I don't have room in the garage at the moment to be pressing bushings in & out. I haven't seen a kit for a VUE anyway.

V6 Swaybar on a 4Cyl VUE?
I've been searching this on and off, but unable to find an answer.
I have read the 4cyl Vue uses a 24.2mm front bar and the 3.5L uses a 26.4mm front bar (that occasionally breaks??). They have...

Re: Rattle @ idle only under load (A/C)
Well, this problem has resurfaced. It's been just about 10K miles. Is there something that would be causing this?
I need a good reason to keep this car vs. trade it in on a 2G Prius.

Re: Rattle @ idle only under load (A/C)
Because the A/C can load the engine at idle RPM. Nothing else can, except maybe alternator or p/s... both of which are also on the accessory drive, so again hard to distinguish between chain and...

Re: Rattle @ idle only under load (A/C)
The problem is
A) According to other sources, a/c on is one of the conditions the timing chain makes noise. So on/noise off/silent doesn't isolate the compressor.
