Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I took my 1998 dodge dakota 4x4 in for a front end alignment and found out that all four front ball joints were bad. one side was very loose and was almost ready to break. i talked to several mechanics who said this is expected for any dakota of this era. i found out that the 2000 and above years have been recalled. why aren't the 98's included in this, they have the same problem.
