hey guys and gals,

This isnt mini related but this forum has always been awesome and i always get great advice. The dodge forums are dead. My name is tyler and I'm hoping you could help me diagnose an issue with my wife's 2012 dodge Grand caravan. So after she told me something was making noise I drove it and noticed that when I come to a complete stop, SOMETIMES (not everytime) the car will make a weird sloshing/metal grinding sound. I checked the brakes and everything seems ok there and they were just replaced 2 months ago (pads, rotors, and fluid). Brake fluid level is fine. When I checked everything out under the car I noticed some grease on the CV axle (driver side) where the noise was coming from. I'm wondering if that is the problem. I've never heard this noise come from a car before. I'm also not familiar with this vehicle because I work mostly on Mini Coopers. All help is greatly appreciated! Hope I get this solved!

Thanks, Tyler

 

CV axle grease indicates a torn boot. Replace very soon and proactively do both at the same time.
Some audio would help if you can arrange that.
