Description of the problem | While slowly backing down the driveway of my home and turning into the street, i heard a loud bang which seemed to come from the front of the vehicle. I proceeded to put the vehicle into drive and slowly drove the truck back into driveway when at that time the right front tire broke away from the vehicle. The right lower control arm had broke in half where it was attached to the ball joint. After inspecting the broken part i noticed an abnormality and concluded there was a manufacturing (casting) defect at the factory which compromised the integrity of the part. This was also concluded by the ram dealer where i had the vehicle inspected and repaired. Part was returned to chrysler for evaluation. |
