SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
MY JEEP LIBERTY 2002 WAS RECALLED FOR "REPLACEMENT OF POSSIBLE BALL JOINT CORROSION". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP DON WHITE'S TIMONIUM JEEP DEALER, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVES ONLY 3 SETS FROM JEEP PER WEEK AND I WOULD THEREFORE BE WAITING FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I FELT THIS WAS NOT TIMELY. I CALLED THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER QUESTION LINE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME INFO. I DO NOT THINK ANY RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD WAIT FOR MONTHS TO REPAIR. SURELY BALL JOINTS CAN BE ACQUIRED FORM ANOTHER SOURCE? *NM
