Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am on my second set of having to replace the ball joints on my 1999 dodge dakota at 89,000 miles. i know this is a common problem with all of dodge dakota's and durango's, and they were forced to deal with the 4wd models of 2000-2003. mine, however, is a 1999 2wd model, and the ball joints are no better on mine. fortunately, i have my truck checked enough that my wheels haven't fallen off yet, but i was told recently i was going to have to replace them again. i'm sick of paying for these, and dodge needs to finally admit their big screw ups on these. *jb
