Description of the problem | My 1998 dodge durango's front suspension requires rebuilding at 72,000 miles. The ball joints are all worn, as is the upper control arm bushing. Vehicle wanders, especially on uneven surfaces. Metallic noises emanate from the front suspension, especially at low speeds. Local chrysler dealer says there will be a recall sometime in the future. Meanwhile i do not consider the vehicle safe! *la |
