Replying to: mek0123 (Sep 27, 2006 9:06 pm) Stay away from cross-drilled rotors. Cross-drilling rotors actually weakens them and could cause them to crack. A better option is slotted rotors. If you want them for cosmetics, you can get dimpled rotors which give you the cross-drilled look without compromising the rotors' strength. Replies to this message: shipo (Sep 28, 2006 6:43 pm)

Replying to: peterskm (Sep 28, 2006 12:17 pm) "Stay away from cross-drilled rotors. Cross-drilling rotors actually weakens them and could cause them to crack."   That used to be the case with rotors with poorly planned and/executed drillings. With CAD designed drilling layouts and proper quality control that are used on quality rotors (PowerStop, Brembo and others) weakend and cracked rotors are very much a thing of the past.   Best Regards, Shipo

#1785 of 1877 Actual stowage dimensions by lkazista Jan 01, 2007 (8:29 pm)
Hey all,   I am interested in a Magnum to replace my existing T&C. I am curious if anyone out ther has actually measured the back of the car to see what the height vs width works out to be.   Any and all help would be appreciated.   Lee Replies to this message: hardhawk (Jan 02, 2007 6:52 am)

Replying to: lkazista (Jan 01, 2007 8:29 pm) We replaced our T&C with a Magnum RT in Oct. of 2004. I never measured, but the difference in space is dramatic. Far less utility in the Magnum. That said, I love the drive, ride, & power of the Magnum. The thing we really miss is no third row, which we need from time to time. The Magnum does have considerably mmore luggage space than the 300C, which we were also considering at the time.

I traded my '00 Grand Caravan for a ne '06 Magnum RT. I think that everything I used to fit behind the third row of the GC can now fit in the back or the Magnum. I figure what I lost was the space in the third row seating area. For me, the trade-off is well worth it in performance and fun-to-drive gains.

Replying to: buckangus (Aug 08, 2006 5:55 am) Could not agree with you more! I also have an '05 Magnum and have had nothing but problems with the front end. Has been "fixed" many times and TSB performed (which if you read this TSB it is a joke how they fix the problem). Have had to replace tires at 30,000 miles and front suspension is worn the vehicle now scrapes on the smallest bump. Steering wheel is not centered,turns harder to one side than the other and so on. This is my fourth (and last) Chrysler vehicle since 1997 and your right,they refuse to acknowledge that this is a problem. They don't even respond to the numerous times I have contacted them. And maybe all of these "new" problems with the steering rack and steering vibration are related to this. (I have not had this particular problem yet, but my car does not drive straight either) As I believe this "fix" has already been applied to these vehicles because there is no real fix for this problem,only the TSB used to disguise the design flaw and tell the consumer the vehicle is "road crown sensitive". EVERYONE needs to contact the NHTSA and file a complaint about the front end and get them to start a defect investigation. It is not right to pass the cost of their engineering flaw on to the consumer. This is the only way Chrysler is really going to fix these vehicles.   And those of you who think your car rides correctly, are you sure your not just willing to settle for the road crown excuse. No new car should drive this way. Replies to this message: jacktb (Jan 31, 2007 1:21 pm) hardhawk (Jan 31, 2007 1:40 pm) jacktb (Feb 03, 2007 6:58 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: lrs5 (Jan 22, 2007 8:02 pm) After reading these posts concerning front end vibration and suspension issues, I felt compelled to add my experiences. I have an '05 Hemi Magnum purchased new in October 2004. In 2 plus years of ownership, this vehicle has been nearly flawless. The interior, although laden with plastic, remains tight and rattle-free. I have had this car up to 100 mph with no vibrations or rattle issues. The vehicle is stock with original tires and brakes.   These experiences make me wonder if there is a design flaw in the car or something is happening during the build process. This may explain why some cars have issues while others remain problem free. I would be interested to know the build date of these cars. Mine was assembled in September 2004.   Just a thought.
