2007 chevy uplander. Loose feeling in the front end, pulls to the right yet has a sway to it also. Just replaced the brakes and rotars. There is a clunk in the front end when excelerating quickly or braking quick. Just feels like a lag inbetween till the van catches up then clunks. Overall front end doesn't feel tight. Please help if possible.

SOURCE: 2003 Dodge Caravan Front end clunk.

Had similar problem with 2003 Dodge GC. Replaced the parts you mention + rack & pinion, then to fix the now noticable whining noise, replaced power steering pump and pulley. Fortunately was under an extended warrentee at 46k miles.

SOURCE: 2004 clunking noise thru steering!

Its probably the intermediate steering shaft. The shaft where it goes thru the firewall is known for clunking on these trucks. GM makes a lube kit to fix the noise. I don't have the part number handy, but the parts guy at the local dealer will know what you are looking for.

Good Luck

Check the macpherson struts to ensure they are not loose.  One way to check is visually in the engine compartment.  Check the top of the struts to ensure the nuts are not loose.  Another is to raise the side of the van where you hear the clunk.  Raise it so the wheel is off the ground.  Grasp and shake the strut to see if it is loose.  The struts should not be loose, but you never know.  As the strut is certainly ivnolved in bumps and rotates when the wheel turns, I would check there since you have already explored the bushings and links.

start with tires; rotate them front to back

then check suspension components; anything loose will cause shimmy of any kind

brake rotors can be warped as well

Chevy uplander traction control seems to be working all the time

Can you feel the vibration through the steering wheel if so have your front discs machined & the front pads replaced. Or are you feeling the vibration through the pedal? if so it may be the rear but start with the front.

How can I change the front signal lamp on the Chevy uplands 2007?

The headlamp assembly must be removed. There is a pin and small bolt that need to be removed then the head lamp can be pulled out. This will give you access to reach down and twist the signal lamp socket loose.

Should the brake rotor be loose when you take the wheel off? I have been experiencing popping noises from the front end going over bumps as well as putting on the brakes. Just pulled the right front tire...

The wheel holds it on tight. What you see is how it is. The rotor shouldn't have much of a step or ridge on the outer edge. You can remove the rotor and file or sand it off or have them turned at the auto parts store. Then sand off all rust on pad sliding surfaces and put anti-seize on those areas. That eliminates the front brakes. Check out sway bar bushings and end links, if applicable.

2004 dodge qc 4x4 with front end rattle on drivers side. I jus replaced brakes and rotars Oct 08.

Sounds like a bottom ball joint. Jack the car up, take hold of the top and bottom of the tyre and push and pull it hard. This should conform it with a loose movement and the rattle you can hear
