2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

While driving when I turn left, which puts weight on the front right wheel I get some well loud road noise sound. No clunking, no metal on metal just lack of cushion on the front right wheel.

So I jacked the vehicle up and shook the wheel. There was looseness from left to right but not up and down. I noticed play at the tie rod end so I replaced it. The play was gone yet the noise wasn't fixed. So I replaced the wheel beering hub assembly... what a pain btw. That did not want to come off. So after a few busted knuckles, a couple beers and many swear words it appears not to be the issue. So after reading around about the sway bars always being afu I am tempted to change that now but really would like opinions before I continue to replace everything.

Thanks!

 

Welcome to DF
Do you still have the old hub bearing? If you do put it on the other side and ck for any noise. Sway bar bushings would be a clunk sound or rattle sound.

 

No I don't it was stuck on and had to force it off. Doing so seperated it to two pieces. One thing I didn't look at was the power steering fluid. I doubt it's that but I should have checked it. Will do so later today. As for noise like I said it sounds like road noise, maybe just friction like sound. Hard to explain. No clunking, popping, pinging etc.

 

Fluid levels are fine.

 

Have you try moving the rear tires to the front?

 

No I will rotate them. I like cheap/free suggestions. Thanks
