I have a 2005 Grand Caravan with 37,000 miles that has aloud popping sound in the rear when going over bumps, braking and accelerating. Also, in the front when turning to the left going at a slowspeed and even sitting still turning to the left there is a scrubbing/rubbing noise that is very loud. We told are dealership about the front end noise and they said we had a bad left front shock. We had them replace the shock and it still make the noise. The rear end noise just started the past couple of weeks. Any information would be very appreciated.

sounds to me like you may have a broken strut or strut mount in the rear.

I have a 2005 Grand Caravan too, my front end was making a lot of noise when I would move the steering wheel, rubbing grinding, etc. anyways they tried many things, they put a power steering cooler on it, a new rack and pinion, and finally they found a TSB that said to "lube the jounce bumpers", it helped with the noise quite a bit, I guess it's very common with the 4th generation caravans. I like the van, but I've had way too many problems for a two year old car.
