  1. 1st Generation Chrysler Minivan: 1984-1990
    Hi, new to the forum here. I recently got a 1985 caravan in really good shape. 2.6 auto that needed a carb, I put a new Weber 32/36 on it and it's running great now, but I need new front struts. I can't seem to find any for a 1985, they all seem to be for 1986 on up. Is there any actual...
  2. 5th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2008-2020
    I have my GC 2017 sxt at the dealership trying to found out what is wrong with my van for the last 5-6 days. I called them and they said the put a star case on it because they don’t know what wrong with it yet, but anyway the dealership gave me a 2020 DC sxt with 5000 miles on it as a...

    2004 Chrysler Town & Country. 200k miles. While investigating a noise from the front end I discovered the passenger side sway bar link had broken so I replaced both sway bar bushings and sway bar links. However, there is now a new and different intermittent clicking / clunking noise coming from...

    I tried to do a search and didn't come up with anything that answers the question. I still don't understand the difference, if there really is. Or for 2020 are they all "Touring" but GT in trim level only?

    My 2013 has a hundred and sixty thousand miles on it. It has started making a creaking noise that normally doesn't start until I've been driving the car for a number of hours. When I turn the wheel it makes a series of ticks coming from the left front suspension. There is some kind of a bar, I...
  6. 3rd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1996-2000
    So after planning this for several years, I finally started buying parts today to completely replace the suspension on my 1997 Grand Voyager. The $10 ball joints I installed years back are starting to fail, which is what made me finally get this started. Most of the suspension is still original...
  7. 3rd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1996-2000
    I've rebuilt the front suspension. I replaced all of the control arm bushings, the ball joints, outer tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, sway bar end links, and put new struts in - KYB GR2s (I think). My DGC is a Sport model, so it has the heavier springs. When I serviced the struts, the only...
  8. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    While driving my 2005 Chrysler Town & Country, I started getting a vibration in the front end. I decided to head for home, driving very slowly. I was going about 5 or 10 mph while making a left turn when the right front wheel came off the rotor and the van dropped to the pavement, scraping along...

    Okay I don't remember where I read it but, I read that the front shocks and struts of a Dodge Dakota line up with a Dodge minivan. I currently own a '95 Dodge caravan and want to get the shocks updated. Anyone know what I'm taking about? lol:confused::blink:

    I have a 2001 T&C Ltd 3.8 @ ~ 145k. It was my daily commuter/family hauler until ~ 15months ago, when my son inherited it as his daily driver for short commutes to school/work/gf's house. It will become his college-freshmen* vehicle either 325 or 180 miles away, and I can only hope he takes my...
  11. 3rd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1996-2000
    What is the best way to tighten up the front end of a 2000 GV. I have relatively new Strutmaster EZ-Struts and new michelin tires, but I want more responsiveness.
  12. Suspension, Brakes, Steering, Tires & Wheels
    I just picked up a 2008 T&C Limited (110k mi) and the whole family loves it, as do I. It was used and in great condition. I immediately drove it into the Chrysler Service center and had a complete inspection and service done, new breaks, recalls taken care of, etc. I asked for a quote for new...

  14. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    Hi Everyone, I have founds lots of useful information on the Nivomat rear suspension on the forums but I still have a few questions. I recently bought an 05 T&C Limited because I loved driving my dad's 04 Grand Caravan. The Chrysler though doesn't have the nice "forward leaning" stance of the...

    Just bought a 2012 T&C with 30K miles (former Chrysler executive car so in like new condition, always serviced at dealer with no suspension part changes since put in service). Came from a '03 T&C which had a bad front end crunching sound but only intermittently when in cold weather (when both...

  17. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    Hey everyone, I plan on doing a suspension upgrade (struts, sway bar bushings, endlinks, and shocks). So my end links just came in and I see they came with zerk fittings (not installed on the end links). I have a few questions in regards to this; Is there grease inside of the end links...
  18. 3rd Generation Chrysler Minivans: 1996-2000
    Hey everyone. A few days ago I decided to replace the front struts on my 1996 PGV. when I got the struts apart, the left strut bearing was cracked and the right strut bearing, while intact, always made kind of a squeaking noise when I neared full left lock, so I replaced them both (and the...
  19. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
    Who can help provide some insight regarding changing the stabilizer bar links on each side? Can this be done at home easily enough, or are any specialized tools needed? Also, who can tell if the stabilizer bar and the sway bar are the same thing or not? I assume they are simply 2 names for the...
  20. 4th Generation Chrysler Minivans: 2001-2007
