What is the banging noise in the front end suspension of a Plymouth Sundance when hitting bumps ball joints struts and tie rod all look okay?

If it's a loud bang you're hearing when the suspension is compressed, it might be the control arm bumper (a rubber bumper that prevents metal from hitting metal when the a-frame or control arm hits the frame).

Well those normally tend to be whats wrong, or the bushing on the top of the srut where it meets the tower. To check ball joints and tie rods. lift the vehicleand secure it with jack stands and take a pry bar and put the end of the pry bar to where it is between the ball joint and the control arm or tie rod and and knuckle. then put pressure on the joint or end and mve it up and down repetativly. If the joint or end has a lot of play or clicks then you know what your problem is. Also check your motor and transmission mounts see if the are cracked or broken.

Why does a 94 Plymouth Sundance still overheat after replacing radiator thermostat and head gasket?

Couple of things. Thermostat might be stuck closed, not likely. Make sure you have enought fluid in your radiator. What I dealt with was my radiator fun not working properly. Check to make sure that works. My fan actually worked, I had to re-route the relay because an in-line fuse had blown that delivered constant power to the relay while the relay itself would trip the fan on. There is no fuse inside the car, so that is why I had to do it that way. If you test your fan and it works, but doesn't turn on when the engine gets hot, that might be your answer. Check with a mechanic to help you reroute the relay. Good Luck!

Where is the starter on a 1994 Plymouth sundance?

I have a 94 Plymouth sundance duster. I am sure the location is the same. It should be right behind your oil filter underneath the engine. If you jack the front end up and slide underneath, you should see it behind the oil filer.

If yo have the six cylinder the above is true. If you have a four cylinder the starter is under the manifolds on the rear of the engine.

Where is the starter on a 1992 Plymouth sundance?

Allmost all starters are situated next to the engine block and are bolted into the transmission case with either two or three large bolts (usually 9/16") In your case the starter is behind the engine block (I am assuming that you have a four cylinder) on the transmission side, underneath the intake manifold. Your starter would be a three bolt type with one of these actually being a stud and nut. don't let its position scare you, the bolts are easy to get at once the "L" shaped intake hose is removed. Please be advised that the only way to truly be safe while working on a starting and charging problem is to remove the ground side battery terminal from its post.

How do you remove a rear brake drum from the flange on a 1994 Plymouth Sundance Duster?

I assume that like many older cars that have not had the drum off in like forever, the drum is seriously rusted to the flange. It will takes lots of patience, penetrating oil (don't get it inside the brake shoe area, it may deteriorate the boots on the cyclinder), a hammer and a puller that can span the drum. Usually this last item is hard to find, so I usually use two or three large screwdrivers to wedge between the backing plate and the edge of the drum. Be careful with this screwdriver approach because it's easy to distort the backing plate. Apply force to the drum, apply penetrating oil to the center of the hub, apply a hammer to the center of the hub. The idea is to break loose the rust. Before you start this wedging and hammering, though, clear away as much rust as possible from the area where the drum will want slide off. A file or screwdriver blade helps. There's no use trying to slide the drum over rust that's visible and easily accessible. Before you start, see if you can check the grease seal on the back of the stub axle assembly. If the seal has a hole in it from rust, you get to replace the stub axle also, so maybe the best thing is to see if you can remove the parking brake cable, the hydraulic cable, and expect to replace the drum and cylinder along with the brake shoes. You'll probably have to replace the drum anyway, so smash it with a big hammer. The bolts that hold the stub shaft to the control arm are probably not accessible from outside the drum. Sorry about your luck. Sometimes some gentle heat from a torch will loosen the rust, but don't do that if you've use penetrating oil unless you like to see flames. The penetrating oil approach will take a long time, lot's of moving the wedges and lots of hammering. But, eventually you'll see the drum start to move.

The check engine light flashes 13 times what is the code for this on a 1989 Plymouth Sundance?

Count again. Without starting the car, turn the ignition ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON. After a few seconds, the check engine light will flash out the trouble code. It will consist of two digits with a very short pause between. Then there will be a longer pause after which the the next trouble code (if any) will flash out. After all the codes have flashed out, the computer will flash 5-5. Fifty five is the indication that all the trouble codes have been revealed. The computer will repeat all the codes a second time. By the way, if the code flashed out is 13 (as opposed to 13 flashes, it indicates a problem with the car's MAP sensor.
