larryl Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 This I believe could be a serious issue with ALL Journeys My BANG noise was caused by the Strut Bearing being PUNCTURED by the Strut Spring & the Spring becoming jammed inside the Bearing close to actual Strut The reason for this is that the Strut Bearing assembly is made completely of PLASTIC!!!!!! No metal at all in the assembly not even a bushing I'm going to contact Chrysler as is my dealer & the mechanic also told the parts person to order a bunch of them as they are going to be a problem As a side note my left front spring is already starting to shift so next week they are going to install a new one on that side I have taken pictures but cant seem to get them to upload but I can send them to an email if you wish to view them Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firejeaq Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi Larry; Can you send me the photos with this problem?, because today I start with the same problem, and I want to show this to the car dealer and try to make the warranty valid. Just have 3000 miles. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
