Ok Gang!
I drive a 95 grand caravan 3.3 with 142k on it. In january it started KLUNKIN!
It sounds big , like a 2lb mallet hittin sumpin solid.Right under the gas pedal, behind the speedo.
BUT only when the front suspension is unloaded. Like nuetral posistion or extended.(goin up hill or under acceleration) when I'm alone in the van.
Down hill, under braking, or even if someone is in the passenger seat, NUTHIN.
I've replaced Struts & mounts, brakes, rotors, bearing hubs,axles, swaybar bushings, 3 new motor mounts.
The ball joints are good, its been aligned.And holds it. No shimmies ,no drift.No play in the steering, no play in the control arms.
I've centered the motor,and did encounter a lot of axle movement.The outer shaft slid in far enough to cover the threads.
So whatcha think! Anyone have experience with "short axles"?
