    Rubber bushing between body and frame.

    My '08 Adrenalin V8 kills batteries, no fix yet! UPDATE!

    I have done this in the past. When you remove a fuse, notice if there is a spark. That shows a battery drain. Do this for the other fuses to find one that is not supposed to have a drain or maybe a larger spark. Workes for me. I Forgot, key off! Good luck, God bless Ed

    tighten wheel bearings

    Hi folks, a mechanic told me that the front wheels were a little loose when he rocked at 12 and 6 oclock, The bearings are about 3 years old, maybe 15K mikes. He says that he should repack them.
