My newly purchased T&C began making a metallic clacking (rubbing)
sound that is quite noticeable when coasting to a stop from 15-20 mph.
It occurs in gear and in neutral, but cannot be duplicated with the
front wheels off the ground. The dealer has ruled out brakes and
suspects it might be coming from the trans.
I am certain that the same noise exists at higher rpms but at a higher
frequency which is not noticeable because it blends in with high rpm
engine noise.

Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
 
Sometimes in various weather conditions the tire bead will make some strange
noises. Will definitely drive you nuts too if you're anal about things like
that.

It could be as simple as the wheel cover making click-click noise. This
happened to our '97 Voyayer at speeds below 20 mph. Initially I thought
it was coming from the transaxle/suspension. Took the van to a suspension
shop, and the guy said it's just the wheel cover.
