Consumer Description

MY 1999 DODGE DAKOTA NEEDED BALL JOINTS AND NUMEROUS OTHER FRONT END AND STEERING COMPONENTS AT ONLY 30000 MILES. IN MY OPINION, THIS WAS DUE TO A LACK OF LUBRICATION BECAUSE THERE ARE NO GREASE FITTINGS ON MY TRUCK'S BALL JOINTS. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT THIS IN TIME, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WHEN MY WHEELS FELL OFF. I AM CONCERNED THAT AS MY TRUCK AGES, THIS PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS USED WERE IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL PART THAT FAILED. I HAVE MET NUMEROUS OTHER DODGE DAKOTA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP US.*AK
