I recently acquired a 1994 Caravan (3.3L 3spd auto w/O.D.). It behaved very badly on bumps, sounding like it is bottoming out on what seem like small bumps, producing a very loud "thunk" from whichever front tires that hits the bump. My previous van (1987 Nissan) never behaved this way.
The records I have show the following:
Current mileage 128,600 Struts replaced @ 93245 Motor mounts - Cntr Eng, replaced @ 120,093 Sway bar bushings replaced @ 120,093 Outer motor mounts appear to have been replaced also
It seems like struts with 35,000 miles should be still good. No leakage is visable.
Can anyone offer any suggestions to solve this problem? New struts? stiffer struts? Anything?
