Description of the problem | I am the original owner of a 1998 dodge durango with 69000 miles. My passenger side front wheel is making a clicking sound anytime that i turn the vehicle. I have discussed this with a local mechanic. He in formed that he has had this complaint before and has determined it to be the upper ball joints. I have called plaza dodge in holiday florida in which they informed me that there is no recall on this issue. I will be getting this looked into further to have it repaired by my mechanic. I have read many reports since being informed of this problem and i am concerned for all owners of this vehicle and the dakota. This problem could become life threatening if not corrected. *ak |
