Suspension problem
2001 Chrysler Town and Country Two Wheel Drive Automatic 92000 miles

I have taken my car into a few mechanics and they can not diagnose the problem. It sounds and feels like the engine is going to fall off. I had one mechanic tell me that I needed new struts. After almost $500.00 spent on them, it didn't fix the problem.

The noise is almost anytime the car is moving. If the road is real smooth...not as bad. It has to be something in the suspension. It sounds like it is coming from underneath...maybe the axel area?

i would be having the vehicle jacked up and checking for looseness in all front components. check all bushings on the control arms, struts and the roll bar bushings for wear and cracks.
