Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was advised today that my 1998 dakota is plagued with the same issue that has been around for quite a while. the upper and lower ball joints are garbage at about 75,000. fortunately i drove my wife's car by a stroke of luck and they gave me a lot of noise. so i caught it before a wheel fell off. dodge should be recalling or at least replacing free of charge all ball joints that failed. not just the 2000-2003 model numbers.*jb |
