    Your lucky in that your engine has a timing chain to keep the crankshaft and camshafts in synchronization with each other. There are no "service intervals" at which the timing chain needs to be replaced. Frequent oil changes maintain the health and long life of a timing chain.

    Thank you. I also had the tranny fluid and filter changed, brake fluid, and oil and filter. The vehicle has 32K. Brakes and rotors are OK and do not pulsate.

    Replaced the tires and road force balanced and aligned today. Still feel something telegraphing thru the steering wheel. Not a shimmy. What could cause this? I want my new baby to be perfect!
