Low speed "clunks" exhibited at low speeds over bumps,rough roads. Early build 2004 Pacificas had bad design bushings on lower control arms, only solution was to replace lower control arms . Owner decided to replace front struts at same time, and alignmen A slight "clunk" exhibited when accelerated from a stop .....does not happen all the time. Does not effect driveability, just a little annoying. Solution: install rubber gaskets on front half shafts, previously addressed with a TSB from 2005. To fix looseness in the steering, the dealer wanted to replace the entire steering rack, for $1150. I found an independent garage to replace steering tie rod ends and sway bar links for a total cost of $640 .
