2001 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY LIMITED 3.8L V6. I HAVE HAD SUSPENSION PROBLEMS FROM THE START. KNOCKING NOISES, ETC. REPLACED TIE RODS, SWAY BARS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS, BUT DONE IT PIECEMEAL. MANY OF THESE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE--FROM STRICTLY ANNOYING TO DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS. THE VAN JERKS APPROX 6-8 FEET LEFT AND RIGHT INTO ANOTHER LANE OR SHOULDER IN A SECOND. REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND REDUCED THE JERKS TO ONLY 6-8 INCHES BUT STILL DRIFTS. I AM AGAIN REPLACING RACK & PINION, INNER AND OUTTER TIE RODS ALONG WITH THE NEW CONTROL ARMS. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM--BUT THIS REPEATED REPAIRS HAS COST MORE THAN THE VAN IS WORTH. NOT TO MENTION THE RAPID WEAR OF TIRES (SEEM TO REPLACE EVERY 10K MILES). *TR
