I own a well-maintained 1999 Dodge Caravan. When driving at slow speeds going over a speed bump or a slow speed right turn I hear a brief rattling sound.
It sounds like those mega-watt stereo systems installed in some cars that rattle the car’s body except it is softer. I do not have a mega-watt stereo in my car!
A mechanic recommended I replace the engine torque mount & engine or trans/transaxle mount (left) and that the ball joints be replaced. He said I could wait until next payday (next month) to have these done. Could one of these cause the noise? Which one? Is the mechanic right that I can wait?
Thanks,
Sam
The sway bar end links are notorious for wearing out on these vans. I’ve replace them twice on ours. If they are shot, buy the ones with a lifetime warranty so you can get them free the next time:) They are very easy to replace.
Is this a saftety issue? Can I wait until my next paycheck to have it fixed? How much does it cost?
