I took an oil sample yesterday and sent it to Blackstone. Someone put bathtub calk around the moonroof to prevent leaks. overall condition is rough. I talked with the garage that replaced inner tie rod ends and cv axles. They recommended rack replacement at that time but the owner declined. Mileage in October 2019 was 83,700. VIN: JT3HT05JXY0101459 I could only find the record of the key being made in 2008 with 58,000 on the clock. Anyone know where I could get complete history?
vin: JT3HT05JXY010459 Only record I can find is 2008 and lists a key being made. Mileage 58,000. Don't know where else to look.I'd question the 86k miles. That's extremely low for a 2000. CVs should last much longer than 86k. Mine on my 98 LX lasted nearly 200k before they needed replacing. And that was with daily driving and some seriously hard off-road miles under a lot of weight. As for the rack, mine has lasted nearly 250k. I had to replace the bushings once and have had a small leak for the past 6+ months that has been addressed with ATP205 Stop Leak.
I'd see if you can pull the complete service history because something seems a little "off".
