SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE HAVING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WORK PERFORMED ON OUR CAR, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS ON OUR '99 DURANGO ARE "DANGEROUSLY" WORN OUT. THE REPAIR FACILITY MENTIONED THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED ON ALL DURANGOS THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THEIR SHOP AND THAT SUCH PREMATURE WEAR IS NOT COMMON.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, STEERING:LINKAGES:ARM:IDLER AND ATTACHMENT
I HAVE A 1999 DODGE DURANGO WITH 54,000 MILES THAT IS ALREADY NEEDING NEW FRONT BALL JOINTS. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED SHAKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY A GARAGE MECHANIC WHO IS NOT CONNECTED TO DODGE. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE LOCAL DODGE SERVICE MANAGER, WHO CHECKED THE BALL JOINTS, I WAS TOLD THE BALL JOINTS WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATION AND THAT A NEW IDLER ARM WAS NEEDED. I HAVE SINCE REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND SHOCKS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I'M CONCERNED THAT I AM DRIVING A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK
