Services Performed
- REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE SERPENTINE BELT, BELT TENSIONER AND BOTH IDLER PULLIES AND RE-TEST.
- CONFIRMED NOISE DURING TEST DRIVE. PLACED VEHICLE ON LIFT AND CHECKED SUSPENSION. FOUND THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WITH SLIGHT PLAY AND THE LEFT CAUSING THE NOISE. WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM / BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY, THE OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND FRONT SWAY BAR END LINKS. NOTE; VEHICLE IS VERY RUSTY AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TIME AS A RESULT.
- BELT NOISE GONE AFTER REPAIRS. CAN NOW HEAR AN INTERMITTENT NOISE COMING FROM THE A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WHEN THE A/C IS TURNED OFF. NOISE COULD NOT BE HEARD PRIOR DUE TO THE NOISE FROM THE BELT. EVACUATED THE SYSTEM, RECOVERED 0.93LBS AND NO OIL. CHARGED TO 1.85LBS WITH THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL. COMPRESSOR NOISE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. WILL MONITOR – IF NOISE BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED, THE COMPRESSOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED.
