Out of the blue, right front end starts rattling. Searched AutoBeef, found same problem, same solution. Van was repaired by Chrysler dealer in Vancouver, Canada. Smooth as silk now.

I purchased a 2001 dodge caravan on November 14th 2005, about a week after i purchased it i was hearing a clunking sound in the front end like the entire vehicle was going to fall apart, so i had it looked at and got it replaced by laser lube. As far as i know nothing major could have happened but just by having an annoying noise and it feeling like there is something lose under the front end.. but anyway i had to get them replaced on January 17th 2006.
