I have a 97 town & country LXI 6cyl fwd/ now this is the problem! For some reason the steering wheel shakes a lot and a wobble it feel in the front end when start moving a slow speed! Well it happening even at a faster speed now it getting worst and worst and it's like it coming from the front driver side it's like if it was one of the tire is going bad. But now i had change the tires and balanced them, the driver and passenger side axles ,driver side hub with bearing and both sides brake rotors! I'm focusing more in the driver side because that's where it feel the most I also done wheel alignment, and still the same problem. There's nothing else i can think of that it can be. Some one suggested that it may be the motor mount that may not be center and it can cause the axle to go out of place and someone told me that may be the tie rod the inner or outer that's what I'm checking next. This thing is driving me crazy. Any one have any suggestion? Help please!!

I noticed that when I took the Inner Tie-rod they were real bad, so thanks guys for your suggestions and ideal. thanks!! | |

Replying to: littlelady (Apr 19, 2009 2:34 pm) When I hit a "ridge" in the interstate or over some speed bumbs there is thud, it feels like the dirvers side front wheel bottoms out. Mine is a 1994 Town and Country with 188000 miles and the 3.8L V 6. So far I have changed.... The long rack (for a different issue) Sturts and shocks CV joints Had a 4 wheel alignmnet All the motor mounts (this did not fix the issue, but made a tremendous difference in the way the car behaves, I would recommend this to anyone if you are getting a jerking feeling or shaking when starting off. Sway bar bushings Any ideas would be great! Mack29 |
