any sway bar bushings at rear ?

As title.

My minivan noise was solved by replacing bushings at the front. Is there any bushing at the rear? Wondering if I can get rid of the last bit of noise by replacing that? It is 99 T&C AWD.

Thanks

My 99 T&C LTD AWD doesn't have a rear swaybar, just the level adjusting shocks.

Will,

How many miles you got on your 99 T&C? Mine is around 78k and I feel it not as responsive now. Was it the age or maintenance? Should I change the spark plug? The dealer said that model came with platinum spark plug and it needs replacement between 75k to 100k. Mine is in the range but not sure if that is the cause.

The double platinums it came with should be fine even a little over 100k. However it depends on your fuel quality and driving habits etc.. Champions perform better in a mopar than anything else I've ever tried and when they're such a bitch to change I don't care to argue with success. I'm at

I've got about 95k km on my vehicle. Stark plug replacement is recommended at 100k. I changed the original plugs ~ 75k km. They needed it. I used Bosch "platinum plus 4" (multiple spark gaps) which were an improvement over the OEM's. I would recommend them. However, it is a real pain replacing the back ones. I did it on ramps from underneath. I think that I had to take the belt off and move the alternator out of the way, as I recall.

Fuel injector flushing helped as well to smooth the idle.

About the sway bar bushings.....

I bought the "gold" warrantee which runs out in 5000 km. The T&C is at the dealer right now getting new struts, rear shocks (load leveling), tie rod ends, 1 brake caliper, a cv joint boot, and, oh yeah, swaybar bushings. Boy am I glad that I bought the warrantee. I don't mind paying for the alignment after all this. Warrantee even pays for the rental car while they fix it.
