Robert, Likely the upper control arm bushings... soak it with silicon spray, and you can tell if that is the problem, by having someone crawl under it, and rock the van by putting your weight by the side of the seat at the door opening. If the bushings are bad, they are not that hard to replace.

I have brought her back from the dead and she drives like no other out there, it`s wired in a good way. I have a question? when she hits a bump or bounce on the road she makes a rubber like squeaky noise coming from the front end. is this a normal sound for her or is there something I can do to silence her front end. She will appreciate any recommendations or suggestions. Thanks in advance Robert _________________________________________________________________ Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/= |
