Replying to: goldengal (Aug 05, 2009 5:15 pm) If it's the A pipe mounts you'll have no problem. If it's the wheel bearings you could have a problem. Here's what i did . drive the van down a straight road around 50 miles an hour.Turn the van motor off, it won't hurt anything, if the noise is still there then you know it can't be in the engine or tranmission because they are off. be careful and make sure you are on a straight road.( have someone from the garage with you so they can here the noise). Then we put the van on a hoist and spun the wheels with our hand and heard the grinding sound of a wheel bearing. Both front wheel bearing were replaced and the noise is gone. good luck Replies to this message: ee4life (Aug 10, 2009 9:59 am)

Replying to: mooger1 (Aug 10, 2009 3:53 am) I would not diagnose it that way, due to safety. Diagnose wheel bearings per the TSB or by checking for excessive wheel bearing play (trying to rock the front wheels up and down/side to side), while the Ody is on a lift.
