I bought a 2007 EL LIMITED and since buying it have discovered one problem after another. Mind you it has 175k miles...[emoji849]
There is a growling noise that gets louder as your speed increases and quiets as you slow down. So everything I know that tells me it's a wheel bear which means hi assembly. Bummer but ok. I plan on replacing that this weekend.
When braking the vehicle pulls to the left hard!! We'll that sucks cause the right caliper is bad.... Fixing that this weekend too... I was hoping that that was it. Nope!
All the lug nuts need to be replaced cause they have that crappy "tin foil sleeve" that makes it I'm possible to remove the lug nuts. So I have some new lug nuts on order thanks to another forum where a guy posted a link on Amazon to what seems by review a good set of lug nuts.
Then while driving it the first day after purchase what do y'all know!! The freaking check engine light comes on indicating P0171 and P0174. Bank 1 & 2 lean. So being the slick guy I am I look over all the vacuum lines and believe I find the culprit and replaced it[emoji16][emoji41]
But, the check engine light came back on same codes[emoji45]. So now I am inclined to think that the issue is the intake gaskets as they are prone to leak with high mileage...[emoji21][emoji26]
