Component | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The failure was detected during a vehicle inspection. No one was injured but i don't believe an investigation should wait until someone is hurt. This is a dangerous situation. The suspension does not perform properly and if you know what the roads are like in mo (not the original home of this vehicle, it was bought used) then the situation is even worse. The faulty ball joints/control arms not only effect the handling of the vehicle but also the wear of the tires and struts/shocks. The ball joints/control arms should not wear out this fast.*ak |
