Three problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I've have this 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan, the strut mount housing is rusted so bad I'm afraid to even drive it anymore. The metal is almost completely rusted away. There is one rusted ring that holds the strut to the body. It started about 5 years ago with a small rust hole on both side. I thought it was just rust from the bad winters we get in the midwest. When moving at a slow speed (15-20mph) the van feels like your on a pitted dirt trail and nothing but side to side shaking. This has to be a major safety issue for both the driver and the people on the road. I see these vans all over the place and they all have the same problem!.
Unable to get a front wheels aligned because of a possible defective camber or strut that neededed to be replaced. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and both refused to assist because there was no recall, and out of it warranty. Please provide any further information concerning this matter.
Tires would wobble while driving. Vehicle & steering wheel would shake & pulled to the right. Vehicle was controllable, but use of constant pressure was needed to keep it straight. Took vehicle to dealership. Mechanic balanced wheels. Took it back due to tires being defective. Manufacturer & dealership not claiming fault. Michlein 215/65416 mx4 all seasons.
