Description of the problem | The upper control arms, ball joints, and idler on my 1998 dodge durango with 38,000 miles were severely worn as identified during a routine inspection. I was forced to repair these items so to prevent a failure of the front suspension. I contacted dodge regarding this defect yet they would not cover the repair. This is clearly a defect in the durango and should be covered by the manufacturer.*ak |
