Description of the problem	Knocking in the front of the vehicle causing the truck to become out of alignment. I brought it in to have it checked and they said that i need to have the ball joints to be replaced and that there was a recall on this vehicle for this exact situation. I brought it to alexander dodge in franklin, tn and they said that the defect does not apply to my vehicle because of the year, which i find it hard to believe that the recall only applies to 1999 and after when my vehicle is a 98 and i find it hatrd to believe that the same problem did not occur to a vehicle made the previous year unless they had changed manufacturers in between. *ak
