Hi, all,
Just have my 99 (purchased 98) T&C serviced by replacing all spark plugs, it has 97,000 on it. Man, it feels like a new engine--fast and quiet. It kind of brought back the sweet memory when I got it new. So, I am thinking of making it new again.
Here's some left over "problems" that needs to be solved. The front steering wheel makes some kind of cracking sound while I am turning the wheel especially while it is at slow speed. I believe the steering lubrication/mechanism is getting old after almost 100,000 miles of use. What should I look at and replace at this moment? CV joint? Also the suspension is pretty rough when running a pot hole or bump. This is very obvious every time I pull out this car from driveway to the road. That unsmooth surface seems putting a lot of pressure to the suspension. Should I look at/replace the shock/bushing? Same thing happened on the rear.
What is the reasonable lifespan of shocks? What kind of damage $ am I looking at? Is there anyone here experienced replacing the shocks after high mileage?
Thank you for any suggestion.
