IN NOVEMBER 2003, MY WIFE HAD A BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING OUR 1999 DODGE DURANGO ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS JUST AFTER FOUR NEW TIRES HAD BEEN PUT ON THE DURANGO. THE SERVICE CENTER STATED THAT THE BLOWOUT WAS A RESULT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BALL JOINTS AND TIE RODS. THEN IN APPROXIMATELY NOVMEBER, 2004 WE HAD TO HAVE MAJOR REPAIR OF THE FRONT AXLE. IN JANUARY, 2005 THE DURANGO REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, TWO NEW TIRES AND ALIGNMENT. THIS AFTER THE SAME PARTS HAD BEEN REPLACED JUST 14 MONTHS EARLIER. I DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED. *JB
