Description of the problem | I started noticing a popping sound on left turns and when it was inspected at a local mechanic, i was informed of a lower ball joint problem coupled with deterioration of the spindle or a arm. I really like the durango and was even contemplating a pacifica. If daimler chrysler doesn't do any better service to its customers by repairing their faulty equipment, perhaps the big bucks they want for their product could be placed into another auto manufacturer. *jb |
