VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS WHEN THEY WERE ATTACHED TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS.
BALL JOINT BOLTS LOOSEN OR DON'T TIGHTEN TO SPECIFICATIONS WHICH CAUSES A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED TWICE AND TIGHTENED UP OR RE-FIXED SEVERAL TIMES IT'S UNSAFE AT TIME. I TAKE CHANCES OF MY LIFE SAFETY. I MOSTLY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS ON THE REGULAR STREETS AND TO AFRAID AT MOST TIMES TO EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING ON A HIGHWAY.
