Performed inspection, found right rear wheel bearing is near failure. Drivers side is VERY loud as well. Brakes are very rusty, underside is rusty, brakes are OK at this time but rotor condition is poor. No oil leaks visible. Serpentine belt is starting to show pulley marks on smooth side, recommend replacement soon. Recommend both rear wheel bearings, may require additional time due to rust.
Completed replacement of both rear wheel bearings. Rust made removal take longer than normal, but was able to get both sides apart. PS bearing came off in 2 pieces, inner race was cracked. Made sure to torque hardware to spec. Test drove afterwards, no more noise and the wheel is no longer about to fall off.

Drained the engine oil and changed the oil filter. Filled with 1qt atf and the rest engine oil. Let the engine idle for about 25 minutes and then test drove to move the fluids quicker and get it hotter. Drained again and filled with engine oil. No faults as of now. If the fault comes back for the slow response camshaft bank 1 (P000A) and (P0011). Cam phaser and OCV need replacement.

Vehicle started no problem for about 10 starts in a row, completed a battery test and it said "good battery, recharge" meaning the battery could be revived if it was slowly charged long enough. We have seen many issues with this era oem battery – recommend replacement due to age. Put a new battery in and reset the clock, reset the windows and fired it up. Car started just fine and has no issues. Before the battery I put the car in the air and did an underside inspection, no issues were found. Checked engine oil and its right at the full mark. Other fluids and filters are just fine. Pulled codes on the car and they were just voltage codes from the battery being weak, cleared the codes. Set the tire pressure to 35PSI all around and cleared the tpms light. Test drove the vehicle and it drove great. No issues as of now, would recommend trying to drive the vehicle more often to avoid similar issues in the future. Oil service is due in about 1000mi

Vehicle had audible misfire and flashing check engine light on arrival, customer stated they had no idea when plugs where last replaced so we replaced spark plugs and ignition wires due to age. Found 2 spark plugs covered in burnt oil – spark plug tube seals are leaking on both banks. Replaced spark plugs and wires and started engine, misfires are no longer present Battery terminals where corroded – cleaned and sprayed protective spray on terminals. Engine air filter is VERY dirty, recommend replacement soon. Noticed on alternator 1 wire is broken at connector – alternator output 14.2v at idle. Recommend wire repair ASAP, wire is broken at connector so new pin will be required for repair. Checked engine oil level, coolant and tire pressures and set all to correct levels before test drive. Engine oil was about 1qt low o/a – topped up with synthetic 5w30 to full mark. Monitored misfire data while driving, car drove smooth and accelerated easily to hwy speed.

Scanned faults and found 1 stored in abs/vsc – steering angle sensor. 7 Faults in TPMS (low pressure and no communication). All faults listed as "history". Cleared faults and test drove, no lights came on and got over 35mph 2x. Found PS front shocks is blown and leaking oil, DS lower ball joint is VERY loose – recommend replacement ASAP. During test drive noticed very loud wheel bearing – sounds like LF but need to verify with stethescope. Scoped all 4 wheel bearing with car running in air – DS front and passenger rear are both very loud, PS rear is noisy but not as bad as other 2. Recommend all 4 be replaced sooner than later.
Replaced both lower ball joints with new, replaced castle nuts, torqued to spec and installed new cotter pins.
Replaced front shocks and upper mounts. Installed in vehicle and torqued all fasteners to factory specifications.
Removed wheel hubs from vehicle and replaced both front wheel bearings with new hub/bearing assemblies. Replaced all 4 bolts on DS due to rust.
Performed front end alignment. Set camber and toe within factory specifications. Caster had slight split but not too far to be concerned about. PS front toe had over 2* of toe in. Rear toe is slightly out but rear wheel bearings are needed. Recommend wheel bearings and fresh alignment check after install.
