Re: recalls
Just a quick up date just got the van back. New rear axle. some type of brackets in the front. brake pressure switch. And now the power steering noise is gone. So all is well. And none of this cost us a penny.

Re: recalls
Good news!
Interesting: Do you know what they did to your power steering?

Re: recalls
When getting a new-to-you vehicle, it is very important to check to make sure that all of the recalls have been done.
This rear axle thing is very dangerous. As you stated.....you were lucky. You normally cannot tell that there is any problem with a quick look.....it rusts from the TOP.....so it LOOKS fine while it is rusting away. Water gets trapped up inside there...... The brake pressure switch is another bad situation that you dodged......the van can catch on fire just sitting in your garage. The last thing that I want to read is someone getting hurt or worse. As Tuffy said......it was FREE to get these things taken care of.
