Awhile ago i saw a video on YouTube about this. The video went through how to repair the sending unit so that the problem stays fixed. Apparently there are some shoddy tolerances with the plastic pieces used in the sending unit rheostat area. I don’t have the link handy, I’ll look for it again when I have a chance and post it here if I can find it.
Zuhair, I’m interested in your situation and want to help if I can. Your description of the problems and what you have done so far is hard for me to understand. Do you have someone who could help you describe things better? Did you do the work on the car or did you have it done somewhere by another person or a shop? Also what engine do you have,4-cylinder or V6? How many miles are on the car?

You are a brave man Billo! Don’t hesitate to expose your new child to the purr of the air compressor and the whirr of the air gun! It is never too soon to start (but hearing protection might be in order)! 🙂

As for the rest of the noises did you change out the coil spring seat cushions (if equipped)? They might look good but do deteriorate with age and use. They can become noisy. you said RockAuto was going to send you a new part (singular). Does this mean you are only having this new noise on one side of the car?

MOOG is usually OK. Every once in awhile they cover too many applications with one part and there are discrepancies. SOMETIMES with Chrysler products only the dealer parts work correctly. Does any mfr. carry a complete strut/spring/mount assembly for your car? I’ve had great results doing it that way and it costs less overall. What year is this Caliber? How many miles?

Sounds like the upper strut bearings are the culprit. I’ve not come across the plastic bearings? yet but do not doubt that they exist. What construction are the O.E. ones? I’d be speaking to my parts supplier about this. Let us know the end result!

Pressure test the cooling system-that should confirm/deny the head gasket, cylinder head, engine block crack idea. I’ve had blown head gasket situations that gave OK readings on the compression test. Let us know how it all goes. I’ll send the Mercedes Angel your way to help!

White smoke is usually water/coolant. Sounds like either a head gasket problem or a crack in either the cylinder head or the engine block. Has there been any noticeable coolant loss since installation/start-up?
Any guarantee from the seller for the engine?
