SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
I OWN A 2000 DODGE DURANGO. I RECENTLY TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANICS TO HAVE THE BRAKES WORKED ON. MY MECHANIC THEN CALLED ME AND INFORMED THAT THE FRONT LEFT UPPER BALL JOINT WAS SEVERELY WORN AND NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING. HE THEN EXPLAINED TO ME HE HAD SEEN AN ARTICLE REGARDING DODGE DURANGOS IN THE NEWS AND SHOWED ME THE ARTICLE WHEN I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP. LUCKILY THIS WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND MY FAMILY OR I WERE INJURED. I GOT THE BALL JOINT REPAIRED BUT WHEN I READ THE NEWSPAPER THAT DODGE DURANGO WERE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THIS I FELT FOR THE SAFEY OF OTHER DURANGO DRIVERS I NEEDED TO REPORT IT. MY MECHANIC IS DOUG ANDERSON OF ANDERSON'S AUTOMOTIVE 785-325-2609. THANK YOU. *AK
