i originally had this posted in the interior/exterior but i need some input asap... sorry...

well i got our mechanic to check my durango yesterday... he said i might have to get the ball joint lubed... and then another thing i noticed was that my steering wheel is really really squeaking inside... i can really hear it... what can i do with this?

also, i have another problem that i noticed today... my engine light is lighting up on my gauge, my car is a 2000 and the mileage is up to 70,200... this means i need a tune up right? is it a major one? and how much will this cost?

let me know guys... thanks!

what does that mean if you dont mind explaining it to me

 

[hcop33]

my ball joints was replaced by the dealership already for the recalls...

as for the engine light, im about to take it to autozone to get it checked... they said you have to rent the computer which is $186 and we get our money back when we return the computer...

wow i actually changed my plans.... on my way to autozone, i was thinking that i might not be able to decode it because im not that good yet in doing this like this... before autozone, i saw an auto shop and went in to check if they can decode engine lights... well i did it there and they charged me $45 which isnt bad since it was gonna be a lot more accurate than me. i found out that it is a POWER STEERING SWITCH FAILURE. i told them to turn the light off so i can monitor it. well to find out if it happens again, i have to drive 40mph for 30 straight seconds or more. every since i decoded it, the squeaking in the steering wheel disappeared. i already called dodge and pre-ordered the switch for around $30. im going to monitor it for the next few days so i know if im gonna change it or not.

well the light lit up again, i guess i really have to change the switch... oh well... hopefully nothing else happens to this car... oh yeah, the squeaking in the steering wheel is still there but its just not as bad...

how can i fix the squeaking in the steering wheel???

 

[hcop33]

man thanks for telling me...!!! i couldnt get it done any earlier because the dealership had to order it, good thing its coming tom!!!

just came back from my mechanic and we replaced the power steering switch, light is gone now. my d-ride is back to normal... thanks for your comments guys...
