Description of the problem | I own an 1998 durango that required all the ball joints to be replaced at relatively low mileage. The mechanic felt they were ready to collapse. According to chrysler the ball joints are the same design as those currently being recalled on later models. Why aren't 98 and 99 model year durangos being recalled? *jb |
