93 Plymouth Acclaim turning noise

Let's have some more information on this "low grinding noise". Can you compare the sound to anything else?

That's a lot of parts you probably didn't need...

That's possible, but depending on what exactly this noise sounds like, it could be related to the engine mounts. These cars are very sensitive to the lateral positioning of the engine on its mounts. Try following the FSM procedure to centre the engine on the mounts and see if the noise goes away.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does FSM stand for? I am not a mechanic, just a Haynes and Chilton manual owner.

Thanks for the reply!

FSM=Factory Service Manual

Factory Service Manual. The one printed by Chrysler, which is the one you need. Haynes/Chilton = garbage. Too much omitted and incorrect information. Get the factory book; it'll pay for itself the first time you use it.

I found a ConsumerGuide automotive report that states that the 92-93 Acclaim engine mounts have a tendency to break. I would never have thought to check this. Thanks! I'll check the mounts this weekend.

Horseshit. They do not have any such a tendency. And the same mounts are used from '89-'95.

But the engine must be centred correctly on the mounts.
