| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Inner tie rod ends only last realistically about 10,000 miles,become completely unserviceable in 20,000. i am sure chrysler is aware of this poor design/material problem. additionally, the steering box also has problems with the mounting bushings. be advised that i have replaced the inner tie rods twice, then the bushings when they became available in after market form. chrysler, after my many complaints, replaced the tie rod ends(once again) and the steering box due to movement of the box due to bushing wear. once again, the tie rod bushings need to be replaced. this car now has almost 80,000 miles. isn't this ridiculous. having at one time been a front end mechanic i know how dangerous this problem is. the car is a 1996 chrysler lhs. i expect some relief from this.*ak |
