We got into our 2001 Dodge Caravan and started to drive it and noticed that there was a rattling noise in the front passenger side of the suspension. I pulled the van over and noticed the passenger side strut was up through into the engine compartment! I believe the housing is rusted through, which allowed the strut to poke all the way out.

I recently had to take my 2001 Caravan in for servicing at charapp Dodge North (natrona heights, pa 15065)and I had a $100 deductible. The mechanic servicing my vehicle told me that I had a bad sway bar link and bushings, which required him to replace the bushing - sway eliminator and the link-sway eliminator. I feel this could not be correct as my vehicle is a 2001 and these parts should not have worn out as soon as they did. I have two friends with the same year vehicles but one is a Dodge and the other is a Chrysler and they are experiencing the same problem I did and we all bought our vehicle within a month and a half of each other. I feel I should not have had to pay for this repair because I believe the parts to be defective coming from the assembly line from where these vehicles were built.
