We just had my rocker arm changed on my Plymouth Voyager mini van, the part cost about $20.00, my brother did the work. The Plymouth Voyager mini van is a great vehicle, easy on gas for a big vehicle, and very dependable, and a seven passenger vehicle. Forget what other say about the van, it is a great vehicle. I see many people driving them. Find a good mechanic (one you trust) and get your van fixed. Best Wishes and Happy New Years.

Why would you want to change a rocker arm ?? This is a very unusual request. How bout some more info., maybe we can save you a lot of work and money. What are the symptoms of the problem ??

Rocker arm? Not something that usually gets changed by itself. Is this an OHC or pushrod engine? The minivans are hard to work on. If its the back bank of cylinders, it could cost several hundred to replace due to labor time.

i have seen several where the stands for the rocker shaft have fractured causing the rocker shaft to bend and or break causing this symptom the affected cyl head must be removed re-man heads are available but seem to repeat the failure [they can be repaired by a welding genius but only if one is available] best bet is a new cyl head

MAYBE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TO TEST TAKE THE UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR OUT AND WIRE IT UP OUT OF THE WAY, YOUR SPEED SHOULD INCREASE UP HILLS
OR JUST HIT THE CAT, IT MIGHT RATTLE. IF SO IT'S BAD

You probably wont be able to find a good arm for that specific car
