@michaeljackson8510 it's called a strut rod bushing. Rock Auto has the kit for like $10 includes both sides. Getting the old one out sucks because it's a 1 piece bushing where the new ones are 2 piece.

@@MNMoparMinivan man, u have been such a big help. Thank you.

@@michaeljackson8510 glad I could!! Keep that van on the road (:

@milesdyson a few of them did. Manual caravans are pretty rare. A lot of the low trim options had the 3.0 31TH combo

@TFD1982 sorry lol. Check car-part and see if any non u-pull yards list any second gens. I usually just search by front left fender. Call around based on that. Drive up to Minneapolis and I'll give you a set of headlights with the chrome bezels and a rear wiper arm.

@peachyclean93 that's cool!

@@MNMoparMinivan guess what I just got!!!!👀

@@peachyclean93 a ford windstar

@@MNMoparMinivan oh, you're I saw what you did there 👀 haha, you're cute 🥺 I snagged a unicorn 2006 Chrysler Town and country limited 67,000 MI she is clean 🪥🪥🪥

@@MNMoparMinivan I'm going to 👎 to a Ford Windstar comment🤢🤮

@marblecornet i know right haha. Best part is i needed those red floormats... was like dang it wrong color interior... WAIT WHAT THE HELL

@@harrymiller8538 for sure!! I grabbed some bits off of it. Hopefully the rest of the goodies get taken before it's crushed

@JimmyDean404 yeah I was thinking about grabbing the headlights. The passenger one was broke though

@@richroggio me too, thanks for watching!

@@Compact-Disc_700mb haha some people just accept the rust up here

@@462ANIMAL can't help it!

@@MNMoparMinivan I do like the blue ! You gotta get a AWD van ! For a winter beater !

@@462ANIMAL need to find one that works first!

@@MNMoparMinivan They use to be everywhere here. I haven’t been in a junkyard for about 5 years now.. probably will be disappointed with whats to be had .

@@462ANIMAL I think everyone else already used them up for winter time, which is why AWD ones are unobtainium. They all disintegrated already. Honestly it is best to use new cars for winter beater, they aren't going to last long enough to worry about rust anyway.

@@Minivan_Man yes it has! Definitely got full use out of the thing

@@thestuffz opportunity missed! Dang it

@thestuffz what do you mean no body work?? There was plenty done, possibly an entire roll of duct tape used!!

@@MNMoparMinivan 🤣🤣🤣

@@sassiqua lol!

@@michaelwyatt8030 this one is pretty well cooked. Had a few holes in the rear rails I didn't catch initially

@sassiqua you're good 🤣

@@thestuffz 🤣🤣

@@MNMoparMinivan nice van to buy you think not haha

@@michaelwyatt8030 lots of good parts haha. I grabbed a few myself

@@MNMoparMinivan yes bc a lot of good b parts on the motor and transmission and more

@davinp yup exactly, very suspect. I think I saw overspray on it at some point iirc

@DjmDjm-hl8pt there are no vehicle inspections in the state of Minnesota.

@@JonFlyy wow! That's super cool. Thanks for watching!!

@@thestuffz glad to hear! Thank ya for watching. How's the turbo van?

@@MNMoparMinivan lol still on the trailer. Just family health stuff atm and days off have been traveling. Trying to plan how to tackle the engine to see if it is worth doing anything to. Pulley is off the cam, and all the accessories are undone and laying to the side. Crank pulley is still on and the timing belt is on that still. Thinking pull valve cover off first and look. Possibly get a cheap scope and pull plugs. Not sure what all I wanna do to it atm. Would love to just be able to drive it as is for the time being.

@@thestuffz well I don't think it's going to drive with cam pulley off!! 🤣

@@MNMoparMinivan lol no no. I mean to driving condition 🤣

@@thestuffz just messing with ya lol

The sound system is still amazing.

Has rear ac still works.

@@kendalljones541 sounds like a nice ride!!

@TFD1982 i drink too much mountain dew lmao. You got your wish with the 2 hour video haha! Enjoy the rest (:

@@MNMoparMinivan I’m already over the hour mark doesn’t really feel that long when you got nothing to do haha!!glade you were able to get that control arm bolt out I’m dreading the day I have to do mine it looks like it fcking SUCKS.

@@TFD1982 it did suck. But my van is particularly rusty.

@@MNMoparMinivan ohh man yours is much cleaner then my 94 mine having the lower plastic cladding it’s completely gone in the rear for the rockers the rear heater lines even have a repair since they rotted out now mine however doesn’t have any floor rot but for 143k you’d really think my van has well over 200k I’m keeping it off the roads during the winter can’t stand to have more salt damage to it I love this van and do plan to get the rockers done you can find replacements but my welder is out of gas and that’s why my trans am hasn’t had more metal work done in 4 years. It’s all in time I’ll get to it my aunts 95 caravan my my town and country are going nowhere I’ll be working towards fixing the 95 after I sell the 96 of corse but I plan to at a minimum drive the 96 for a year or the value goes up again.

@@TFD1982 looks can be deceiving... this one has quite a bit of filler in it.

@@42luke93 I try! Thanks for watching (:

@@michaeljackson8510 i think I pulled some decent looking ones at a yard and buffed them with a nulens polish kit. Then hit with a clearcoat spray

@Compact-Disc_700mb so the seal on the bearing hub was fine. I accidentally left the metal dust cover that goes on the axle side with the seal... when you get axles the dust cover is already on them. So I had doubled up the dust covers

@@MNMoparMinivan Oh ok, that makes sense now thanks! I do not know why that confused me so much.

@@Compact-Disc_700mb I can't imagine I explained it correctly in the video either lmao

@@MikeVandreumel thank ya!! Me too

@@MNMoparMinivan u going to keep the van so much work put into it

@MikeVandreumel yep! This rustbucket is a a keeper

@michaelwyatt8030 yeah it was a process but it's all new parts now.

@@MNMoparMinivan yup all new parts now you would not sell that van would you

@michaelwyatt8030 this one 😅absolutely not

@@MNMoparMinivan I thought that was your baby

@briandjordjevic9969 good deal!!! Alternators are not cheap! Just glad I had the new one from the 94 I parted out.

@@MNMoparMinivan yeah I was surprised it worked. He had amnesia oil leak that made the alternator all oily. Nice work as always bro! 😎 keeping them alive

@@briandjordjevic9969 yeah blown power steering pump got this one

Lots of help around always LMAO

@@Miniaturalendaria thank you!!

Great story, thanks for sharing!! I barely get heat out of mine now lol! Doesn't matter though as I only drive it in the summer.

@@thestuffz lmao

@jdnrotterdam2150 caravans and grand caravans have a different wheelbase. The "shorties" are 113" wheelbase and the "Grand" caravans are 119". Town & Country models had some unique options like digital cluster and 3.8 engines, and the crystal pentastar. But yes, the platforms were essentially the same.

@@PeteO-v4y originally planned too... didn't bother before I sold it.

@@MNMoparMinivan Cool man. It's often overlooked.

@chloride9794 cool story! That happens sometimes. 200k is pretty good for a commuter car. Hopefully it kept a few others on the road. Thanks for sharing!

@@grenzhochspannungshindernis lmaooo

@mnchryslerminivan9537 ah that'd do it lol. I must have forgotten!

@@MNMoparMinivan I’m honestly surprised it was still there and I took pictures of everything in the owners manual case so I didn’t need it for myself
