Hi all
I've been having trouble with the front end of my pacfica making noise .I took it to the dealer and they fixed tie rod ends, this did not fix my problem but did help, took it to a different dealer because I did not like the previous dealer (left grease on the door handls ,etc..)
the next dealer replaced the bearings in one wheel this was for wheel noise ,but they did not findany other noise in the front end.I hear it especially when I hit bumps and sounds like some thing is going to break and a lot of rattling, when not hitting bumps you hear crunching when stopping.
the dealership told me that that it needed new brakes and the tire were bad.I have 45,000
miles on her, tires may cushion it some but theres still a lot of rattle any help please.

ps.michelin tire are the worst very bad in winter

 

i had a 04 pac an had the same problem ended up being lower control arms have the dealer check for a tsb

 

sounds like same noise i have in my 05 pac. Next week the dealer is replacing my control arm and rack and pinion bacuse they both have play in them.

 

i think the control arms should cure your problems they did mine

 

I will try to get it In again (the shop), although this may be fun since they seem to think that nothing is wrong with it and It is so obvious with all the noise it makes It reallysounds bad.
Thank you for your replies this really helps me alot.
2004 pacifica with 45,00 miles, stone white. I really like the pacifica I just wish their front suspension was much better.

 

tell them to check the tsb on the on the control arms

 

I am going to get it in next week this should be covered under my warranty I think.

 

Thanks for the replies I had the lower control arms and the stabilizer bars replaced this makes me feel much safer and seemed to be the problem.I also did the trick for the lights flickering
that was mentioned in a different post which fixed my lights from flickering.Thanks again this is a great forum.

 

glad this forum helped you

 

did they do this under warranty
