Consumer Description

UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE FAILED. 40,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. BALL JOINTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THIS. DEALER WANTS $1,200.00 TO CHANGE THEM. TRUCK HAS ALREADY HAD NEW FRONT DRIVE SHAFT, NEW SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, NEW DRIVER SEAT CUSHION, NEW FUEL INJECTORS, NEW ELECTRIC MOTOR IN RIGHT REAR WINDOW. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO "RAM TOUGH". MAY HAVE TO GO BACK TO "LIKE A ROCK". OLD PICKUP 1979 CHEVROLET NEVER HAD BALL JOINT PROBLEMS, MUCH LESS ANY THING ELSE MAJOR. THANKS RICK WORSFOLD. *NLM
