    Diagnose steering wandering.

    Try swapping the tires back to their original positions and see what happens, if the problems gone then you know it’s a wheel/tire problem… Prime example is on VW golfs tire dealers demand you install a new pair of tires on on the rear wheels which will cause a serious problem with the vehicles...

    Is it okay that my Mopar radiator has plastic tanks?

    millions run plastic tank radiators, so wouldn’t hesitate running the new one. I mentioned rebuilding the old one because today so many people dont realize it’s an option on radiators with metal tanks.

    Is it okay that my Mopar radiator has plastic tanks?

    They’re made out of plastic now, however since you have one with metal tanks you can drop it off at a radiator shop to be repaired.
