QuestionI have a 2003 T&C with a 3.8L and the power steering is very noisy. At low speeds or at a stop the van shudders when the wheel is turned. Is this repairable? I have read dozens of articles of people spending hundreds of dollars and they still get this noise. We love the van and I am wondering if this is just an annoyance or will it lead to further problems.
