Consumer Description

TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY 1996 DODGE INTREPID ES I FELT A STRANGE JOLT FROM MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WHEN TURNING CORNERS. THIS JOLT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A POPPING NOISE. UPON INVESTIGATION BY A PROFESSIONAL, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TIE ROD WAS ABOUT TO COME LOOSE FROM THE WHEEL AND THAT I WAS LUCKY I NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN TIME. HAD THE TIE ROD ACTUALLY COME LOOSE I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THAT WHEEL, LEAVING ME CONTROL OF JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. *JB
