Default Famous bottoming out noise front end

I have owned 3 town and country and all three have had this noise.
Today as I did on the last one I changed the struts and strut mounts.
The links for the sway bar look good the tie rod are ok the car does not pull or when I go over a bump the steering does not shake so Ball joints??? This must be a famous problem because it has happen to three Chryslers I have owned. One more thing it does not happen all the time. I will go on a 30 min ride going it makes noise on bumps but coming back no noise it feel like something is loose for sure near the shock tower area both sides .

Well I was srong I replaced the stablizer links and the noise is back but not all the time.
My next guess is ball joints or the bushing for the stabilizer links that are located in the middle of the stabilizer bar any thought ?

have you tried the sway bar bushings, cost would be about $14 if you do them yourself.

He's onto it, since the noise went away when the swaybar was disconnected.


Wonder if he will isolate the upper tongue of the swaybar bushing bracket too???
