I have a 2005 300C AWD...I have the common Parking Lot Shudder happening to my car, but I have heard mixed things as to what is causing it. Some dealers say that it is the tension struts, others say the bushings, and lastly I heard that it is a clogged disc in the transfer case. I am more willing to believe the tranfer case one just because it makes alot more sense than the other suggestions due to the fact that it is not present all the time. What is your take on this matter and what do you feel is the right course of action to remedy the problem?

SINCE WHEN YOU HAVE REPLACE OR CHANGE THE BELT..?

Timing belts last a 100,000 miles easy. Even the owner's manuals will generally state the replacement interval for a timing belt or serpentine belt to be over 100k 5 years. It is just inspections up till then.

you should have them look at the catalyic converter

SOURCE: 2000 Ford Explorer AWD purchased with different size tires

It is true that driving with different size tires can damage the transfer case, depending on how long it was driven like that. But--- even if the tires are the same size it can cause this. if the tires are worn and two tires are new the circumference of the tires must not be more than 1/2 inch difference from each other, take a tape measure and put it around the tire in the center and measure the difference of each tire

SOURCE: Rear struts failed after dealer put car on lift.

you have a reason to be doubtful. very seldom would something like that occur unless the srut was near it's peak functionming and starting to fail. the strut is always under pressure because of the spring so " not meshing sounds bogus to me. i have been a mechanic for over 20 years and i can't give you one example of this happening on your model of car or any other models. to be quite honest a strut that fails only after 4-5 years very seldom happens to begin with. but does happen. my advice is to take it to a small shop whjere the quality of work is better and the cost cheaper and have them examine it. let me know what they say and get back to me. just click my user name on this site i will be more than happy to help you further if there is more questions that you have
