    I hear a creaking noise when I go over a driveway entrance or speed bump
    type obstacle. I think it is a sway bar link, but am not sure. If it is
    can I change just one link or do I need to change both.

    Normally the sway bar links give you a loose type clank noise, The sway bar
    bushings will give you more of a squeak noise. The sway bar bushings get
    replaced in pairs. as far as the links go you may as well replace them in
    pairs also, because the one that isn't making noise is soon to follow

    HI, on my 97 grand voyager I had the same problem moaning and creaking when
    going over speed bumps and coming to a slow stop sometimes, they told me
    sometimes the enging cradle get out of position and causes creaking sounds
    from the floorboard area, which the dealer took care of under warranty, they
    had to loosen and re-position the engine cradle, It was about 50,000 miles
    ago and still no problems.

    you need to have someone bounce the front up and down while you inspect the
    front end as to were the noise is coming from

    I would be interested in this also.

    I have a 94 GC with 3.3l engine. It has started making creeks and
    groans as well. SO far, unable to locate.

    Sway bar bushings were replaced over a year ago.

    Anyone?

    Dont get excited, Im just telling you that if the 97 caravan is in need of
    Sway bar links that your vehicle doesnt have those... As I said 2 totally
    different models. The sway bar bushing are set up different also
