Getting Sloppy With Age
15 that's crossed the 120k mile mark and still trending steadily upwards.
Over the last 10k I've noticed that the driveline lash is starting to get worse and I'm getting more NVH than I used to have. I put the poly subframe toppers and diff inserts in way back when it only had 40k and now it almost feels like it's back to the stock levels of slop. I've also got gear whine that's getting transmitted to the cabin now too, right around 83 mph it starts to howl pretty good. Previously it was quietish aside from reverse being a bit noise. I also will sometimes get a strange loud resonance when decelerating in 3rd or 2nd. Anyone else have well traveled cars and have an idea of what suspension parts like to wear out on these cars that can cause those kinds of issues? What's the lifetime on the engine and trans mounts? |

For what it's worth my '13 had over 230K miles on it when I traded it in and all these parts were still going strong, no issues. It was an AT though.
