Description of the problem | Defective ball joints, i'm getting ready to go on my 3rd set of ball joints. There is definitely something wrong with the durango ball joint (front end design). My first set of ball joints went bad after 50,000 miles (3 out of 4 joints defective), when i took my car in for tire replacements (as a result) they told me that they had 2 other durango's in the shop for the same reason (bad ball joints). Now, after 80,000 (30,000 from my last replacement) my tires are showing the same wear pattern. I'm very interested into any probe resulting from the ball joint issue and would be happy to assist in any way. *la |
