Description of the problem | I have a 2011 jeep grand cherokee overland. There are currently 42,000 miles on this vehicle. I went to a shop and tried to have the rack and pinion replaced. And i was told the all the four axle spindles are rusted so badly. The professional in the shop had to spend lot more hour to figure out an other way to remove the parts without touching the spindles. I was told that it was impossible to unscrew the axle nut out from the spindles because of the rusts. This problem is still unresolved. And it would prevent the process of future parts removal. I strongly believe chrysler should issue a recall or a free repair for this issue. Thank you! |
