We got the van back from Ab & Tom's this week. A few weeks ago they had it for a couple days just to figure out what was wrong with it, so this week I brought it back to them so they could actually fix it after they got the parts in. So it is now fixed. The constant creaking and groaning from the front end is now gone, and the roar is gone (there was a loose heat shield), and the brakes don't screech, and they fixed a burned out headlamp. All came to $1638 and change, so I hope that was everything for a while.
