I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan with a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder. My vehicle seems like something is holding it back when taking off and it shudders. The problem seems to be on the drivers side front and only acts up after driving it a while and getting it warmed up. It even made a weird noise. I put a new caliper on and it was still doing it, so I replaced the CV Joint. This seemed to work at first, but it came back on the way home from work. I just looked at it again and the CV boot it split at he wheel side. What could this be....the transmission

If you already split a new C/V boot, then you messed uo something in the installation. You probably have some type of brake issue but you need to get it diagnosed properly instead of throwing parts at it.

Thanks for your help. It was a CV Joint installation problem. The dust shield from the CV Joint came off the original CV Joint and stay on the steering knuckle. It was like welded onto the hole over time and I thought it was just a part of the steering knuckle. After I got the new CV Joint (life time warranty), I noticed it this time and popped it out with a drip punch. All is well now.

Ditto - CV joints usually have crakeling sounds upon turning. No more fixeing just toss a known bad shaft for a rebuilt. Not funny and ripped up boot is the beginning of the end. That's drivetrain stuff - anything else still possible but dont waste parts for guessing.
Story: Neighbor with no symptoms of a problem just pulled into driveway and whole frucking thing gave out, balls rolling around - the whole works. Trashed 1/2 shaft and no one knew................ NBD as a new one solved the problem..............
