T&C Sway Bar Bushings

[Bentley]

I am replacing the sway bar bushings on my 2002 Town and Country Limited AWD
for the second time in about 4 months. The symptom is a loud clunking noise
on even slightly bumpy roads. The van has 51,000 miles. Does anyone have
experience or advice on this one?

Yes, been there recently and the rattle was caused by the sway bar links not
the bushings.
There is a couple TSB's out for this problem. The sway bar bushings were
replaced by the dealer under warranty but they had to order the sway bar links
which were changed a couple days later. The bushings did not correct the rattle
the links did.
