SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS, I'M GETTING READY TO GO ON MY 3RD SET OF BALL JOINTS. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DURANGO BALL JOINT (FRONT END DESIGN). MY FIRST SET OF BALL JOINTS WENT BAD AFTER 50,000 MILES (3 OUT OF 4 JOINTS DEFECTIVE), WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR TIRE REPLACEMENTS (AS A RESULT) THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD 2 OTHER DURANGO'S IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME REASON (BAD BALL JOINTS). NOW, AFTER 80,000 (30,000 FROM MY LAST REPLACEMENT) MY TIRES ARE SHOWING THE SAME WEAR PATTERN. I'M VERY INTERESTED INTO ANY PROBE RESULTING FROM THE BALL JOINT ISSUE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. *LA

SUSPENSION:FRONT
REGARDING PE 03032 FRONT SUSPENSION ON DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME AFTER ONLY 30000 MILES ON MY 1998 DODGE DURANGO THAT MY FRONT SUSPENSION IS WORN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. I'M DESPERATELY WAITING ON A RECALL AND THE OUTCOME OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. THE CAR IS MAKING NOISE AND IS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. HOW LONG DOES A INVESTIGATION TAKE? *LA
