We just bought a o3 caravan SE and 2 days later a popping noise started coming from under the front on the drivers side.I hear it when I am driving straight, louder when going over a bump. Any idea what this could be?

Most likely a sway bar related issue. The sway bar links at each end have small vertical rods with a ball joint like pivot. As they slowly wear out the sound becomes more pronounced inside. Use a pry bar to lightly shake the ends of the bar up and down to see if there is any play in the joints. I have also seen the inner rubber mounts get hard due to age thus letting the center or the bar clunk up and down.

thank you, your suggestion is correct. my husband took it into the dealership and the sway bar needed new links and bushings. then as they were taking it apart for that they discovered the sway bar was actually broken. luckilly since we just bought it we are under warranty.
