Problems with my 2001MY Voyager...

Hello,

New to the group and wanted to see if anyone had any answers to a couple of problems i have on my 2001MY Voyager...

Problem #1: Front end rattling. When driving over anything but completely smooth roads (we do have a couple of miles like this in Michigan!) there is a constant rattling noise from the front end. I have previously taken the car into the dealership to have it looked at and they stated that the issue was the sway bar being loose. The problem did go away for a while, but eventually came back. Now I would rather see if I can resolve the issue myself and see if I can tighten up the sway bar myself. When I jack up the front of the car, however, and check around I cannot find any evidence of any looseness in the front setup.

Am I looking in the wrong place? Does anyone think this could be something else? Where should I be looking?

Problem #2: Driver's window: This recently started acting up and now seems to have significant stiffness in the mechanism causing it to stall halfway down the travel. The window, will eventually reach the bottom of the travel, but then does not close unless you turn the ignition off and walk away for a few minutes or more. I did pull the door apart somewhat and tried to spray some lubricant onto the gear drive for the cable, but this didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? How easy would it be to replace the mechanism? Any idea how much it would cost?

Thanks in advance for any responses and advice.

Cheers,

Jim.

The noise would be coming from the sway bar bushings or the stabilizer (sway bar) links. If you can just drive the vehicle on a smooth road and sway the vehicle from left to right and hear a thunk noise you can believe the sway bar bushings are worn. If the noise sounds like something is getting ready to fall off especially when hitting a small pot hole or such you have worn out links.

The window regulator assembly is bad and lubing it wont fix the problem

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for the quick response. I will try the process you describe and see what I find out. Assuming that it is either the bushings or the links, how easy are these to repair?

How easy is it to replace a regulator?

Cheers,

Jim.

Hi,

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for response. How easy is it to replace the bushings or links? Are there any special tools required? What about the regulator?

Cheers,

I have never had to replace the bushings on the ground so I couldnt answer that, it cant be to hard. The links can be replaced with a floor jack and a jack stand. As far as the regulator goes, not hard at all assuming you are mechanically inclined.
