Consumer Description

WENT TO HAVE VEHICLE INSPECTED TO REREGISTER. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH UPPER BALL JOINTS AND BOTH LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. BASED ON SEVERAL ESTIMATES, IT WILL COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $500.-$700. TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 61,010 MILES ON IT AND MOST OF THOSE ARE HIGHWAY MILES. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN THIS TRUCK "OFF-ROAD". THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT IF IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FOUND. *AK
