I have a 2002 Caravan and lately when I go over a bump, Im starting to hear a front end noise, like a bump....bump and then when driving under flat conditions its fine, the van has 53,000 miles and really nothing has been replaced under it since we bought it 4 years ago. I jacked it up tonight and was looking for worn bushings or any visable signs of worn parts, but everything looked like they came from factory, would now be a good time and replace struts considering they are the orginials. Just not sure where to look. The van has given us years of no repairs, excellent vehicle.
