Consumer Description

I OWN A 1999 DODGE DAKOTA.( SAME SUSPENSION AS DURANGO).I WAS ADVISED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS, LOWER BALL JOINTS AND THE IDLER ARM WERE SEVERLY WARN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHILE DIASSEMBLING ALL JOINTS DID COME APART. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 73,778 MILES ON IT. 99 PERCENT OF THESE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES, AND I WAS SURPRISED AND IRRITATED THAT THEY HAD WORN OUT SO SOON, ALSO GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT IT PRIOR TO THE BALL JOINT SEPARATING. *AK
