Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 dodge dakota slt with about 26500 actual miles on it. i had the truck at the mechanic because of a nasty 'clunk' in the front end. turned out the right ball joint was so worn that it needed to be immediately replaced; the left is showing unusual wear as well and will need to be addressed in the near future. i understand this is "fairly normal" for the 99 dakota. that doesn't make it acceptable.*ak
