I noticed on my 97 grand caravan that on the passenger side, the front end of the stabilizer bar/stabilizer link is rubbing against the driveshaft half axle. Have I hit too many potholes, and is my control arm bent, or is something else bent? Like the steering knuckle? What would be the first part that I should replace? The stab links were replaced about 3 years ago, stabilizer bar bushings were replaced last year, struts were replaced about three years ago, ball joints were replaced two years ago, Tie rod ends replaced four years ago. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!

 

I would raise the van and inspect the front front end. This way you can see what is bent.

 

There is nothing that is obvious -that's why I am asking. Another thought came to mind. Could my springs be slopping? I have 169,000 miles on this van, but it it still running strong, and I have done all repairs since owning the van in 2003. I replaced struts but swapped the old springs to the new struts. Makes me wonder if the springs might be worn, too. Thanks for the reply and let me know any thoughts.
