Earlier this month we purchased a used '98 Grand Caravan Sport. It has
64K mi on it. We love the van.I have noticed one thing that may be wrong. When turning into a parking space or when backing out of a parking space with the wheel turned we are *sometimes* hearing a "groan" or rubbing type noise from beneath the drivers compartment, hard to tell which side.
It doesn't happen all the time but seems to happen more when I am driving it then when my wife is. (She claims she never hears it). So I am wondering if perhaps I turn the wheel "more", making a sharper turning radius and this is causing the noise? Does that make any sense to anyone? If so, what are some of the possible causes of such a noise?
We have the 60 day dealer warranty and then the extended 3y/36K. I would like to get it resolved within the 60 day if I can identify the cause. The dealer is about an hour from where we live so I want to make sure i can reproduce it for them, if I know what it is.
Thanks for any suggestions....
