Consumer Description

CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS MADE CLUNKING AND POPPING SOUNDS. BUSHINGS MADE LOUD SQUEAKING SOUNDS. ALL MENTIONED PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SOUNDS STARTED AS EARLY AS 10,000 MILES LOGGED ON VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING INTERNET FOUND BALL JOINTS COULD SEPARATE AND FINALLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER IS REPLACING PARTS UNDER WARRANTY BUT MY CONCERN IS THEY ARE REPLACING THEM WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. *LA
