I too have a squeak from the right side front. Just yesterday I completed basically a complete refurbish of the front end,including upper and lower ball joints, upper control arm bushings, lower control arm rubber bushings, strut rod(control arm to frame) bushings, new wheel bearings inside and out, new rotors and new pads. Guess what? I still have the squeak! I will have to have someone stand in the van with the front door open and bounce the van while I lay under the right front to see if I can pinpoint the source. The Van rides like new so the work was still worth the time and expense. Just my .02$ Tom Czerniak 1987 Westy 16500 miles and gathering parts to do a I4 conversion! |
