Belt comes off in raindaphnetim - 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager - Steering & Suspension - 5/5/2013while driving in the rain, the belt comes off and i have to have it put back on .-
1/26/2013 JimmMost likely the issue is due to either; worn / stretched drive belt, faulty idler pulley, or faulty / worn belt tensioner.
Try the many on-line auto parts sources; such as, www.autopartswarehouse.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts.
Check the 'How-To-Guides' feature on the AutoMD website for specific steps to check the belt tensioner and to replace the drive belt. -
5/5/2013 glhallowedThe real issue is that the tensioner pulley is completely smooth. This is acknowledged in the following link:

The video explains why it occurs so often and a permanent (but admittedly expensive) fix for the problem. I've dealt with this issue more times than I care to count. All the tow truck drivers I've talked to say this is actually common with minivans.

Steering wheel locks up while driving unable to turn right or leftjxcreekm - 2002 Chrysler Town & Country - Steering & Suspension - 2/9/2013-
2/9/2013 HouseCallAutoFrom my experience with these minivans, replace the power steering fluid reservoir first. There is a filter inside there that becomes clogged and does not allow oil to return to the pump fast enough. The filter cannot be cleaned but the good news is the reservoir is like 20 bucks and replaced easily. try this first before anything. Refill the system or add to it using ATF+4 transmission oil.

How do i take off the power steering pump and bracketchris - 1999 Chrysler Sebring - Steering & Suspension - 2/8/2013-
10/3/2012 HouseCallAutoI am guessing you are doing the timing belt? I just did a 98 stratus with the same engine and the PS bracket sucks big time. The pump bolts come off first, two of them I believe, a 15 mm bolt at the top of the pump from pump to bracket and a 13 mm bolt at the bottom rear of the pump. then, in order to get the bracket off the intakle plenum has to come off so you can get to the other two 15 mm bolts that bolt the horizontal part of the PS bracket to the cylinder head. It may be different on the Stratus and Sebring but not sure. -
2/8/2013 bull_dog_josh05Jack up the engine with jack take off left moter mount 3 bolts lower the engine and it will give you enough room to take off the back bolt hope it helps!

In the last week i started feeling vibration and squeky in my front tires underneath my caririsriley6869 - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica - Steering & Suspension - 1/28/2013i have over 100,000 miles and no check in lights are on a mechanic said its my wheel bearings but he said i got 6 different kinds so i need price check and to see if they telling the truth about my wheel bearings-
1/28/2013 1beastlydudeI would need more in formation to help
1 does it do this when turning?
2 does it do this when you hit the breaks
3 get a strong freind to try and shake the wheel, left to right top to bottom, if the wheel moves in all directions it is the wheel bearing, most cars only have two per wheel, I suggest a second opinion!

Cost to replace power steering reservoirsymterhune - 2005 Chrysler Town & Country - Steering & Suspension - 1/25/2013Install new reservoir plus pwr steering fluid.-
1/25/2013 JimmTry the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.autopartswarehouse.com or www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (Rock Auto) list the power steering pump (without reservoir) from around $36.00 for your vehiicle.
You can calculate around 1 hour to 1.5 hours labor cost; from $70.00 to around $150.00 for the labor cost - plus the fluid at around $2.00 / quart.
