Re: Maintenance at 120K+ (not knowing previous owner/ cam position sensor vs timing b
Welcome to the forum.
You didn't say what year your cruiser is so if it's before 2003, Chrysler changed the belt tensioner in that year so that should have been changed if the timing belt was along with the water pump. With that kind of mileage and not knowing what was done it probably is a good choice to have a mechanic take a good look around. The serpentine belt, alternator belt should also be looked at.
On the underside, have someone look at all the bushings, front hubs and check for bearing play. Check for steering play and and leaks on the steering gear.
The transaxle is a weak point so no matter what kind of service was done before, have it flushed out completely and refilled with ATF+4 or the newer synthetic ATF made by Chrysler.
Good luck with your cruiser.
