For the second time in recent weeks, the van went into the shop today. This time it was because the brakes had been making a horrible squealing noise ever since the last time we went to Michigan. They were shot. So, another $140 into the van. On the plus side, they also looked at the thrumming noise the front end had been making, and they found nothing except road noise, so it’s probably just the cheap tires we put on it a couple weeks ago.
