start with checking your tire pressure if thats ok check the belt for proper tension and fluid level and last that your idle speed is set correctly while the vehicle is idle in drive not idle in park hope this helps.

99 Chrysler LHS knocking noise while driving

Sorry but you will need to be more specific. Is the noise only heard while the car is moving? Does the noise go away when you are at a stop, low speed or high speeds? Does the noise change while braking? Does the noise change while making hard left or right turns? Have you opened the hood and looked around? Have you checked the level of the engine oil or is the oil change over due? Sorry but there are so many things that will create a "Knock" noise. Please write back with more details. If this sounds too overwhelming please bring the car in for diagnostics. Continuing to drive it the way it is could cause you to be stranded or increase the already needed repairs. Good Luck.

My 97 chrysler lhs stalls when taking corners, why?

Left or right turns? Most stalling issues while taking corners are the result of wiring rubbing somewhere on the engine/body causing shorts. Check all wiring looms/harness for signs of rubbing that may result in a stalling situation. If stalling on both left and right turns, possible fuel pump problem ( especially if you run a low fuel level ). I have also seen stalling from the ignition coil caused by its internal oil level to be low

How much will it cost to replace a water pump on 1997 chrysler lhs v6.

the waterpump on this car is turned by the timing belt, when you replace the waterpump on this car the timing belt should be replaced no doubt about it, the timing belt must be replaced and also the pulleys checked and if the car have 100,000 miles or more the timing belt pulleys must be replaced. the reason for this is that if for any reason the belt jumps or breakes then engine damage will occur, the pistons will bend the valves and this is very costly, there is no extra labor to do the belt it has to be removed to do the waterpump you would just pay for the parts, for example to do a waterpump it would run about $400.00, then to do it right with a waterpump timing belt and pulleys it would run 500.00,i think its a wise thing to do.this car only uses one pulley that needs replacing so i said pulleys but rather just a pulley that runs in this belt design. good day, heres a few diagrams to help explain how it works.johnjohn2_126.gifjohnjohn2_127.gifjohnjohn2_128.gif

1999 lhs steering jerks to the left

now is is pulling while you are driving also... like if you remove your hands from the wheel is it pulling left? If so you need a front end alinment... now if it only jerks when you are turning left it could be your steering stablizer bar or your left CV joint because if it seriously damaged it will cause you to steer hard and it could also break in half and you will loose your wheel...

Power steering leak

Depends on the part to be replaced. The pump is pretty straightforward with the correct tools and costs about $60 to $100 if you do it yourself (I own an Intrepid, similar to the LHS and I work on it a lot) . If it's a metal hose, this is going to be about $30 to $50 or more and will need a flare nut wrench, along with other hand tools. If this is attached to the steering rack, you may have to move other parts out of the way. This is not a hard job either, but could be time consuming and be careful not to cross thread the fittings.
