Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 EXPLORER 4WD AND LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS SQUEELING REALY BAD. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE FOR $400.00. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS SUV. THE TRANSMISSION HAD A BAD VALVE BODY GASKET ANOTHER $300.00. IT'S ONLY GOT 39000 MILES. WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG...SORRY THAT'S A BAD QUESTION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'LL BE SELLING THIS ONE SOON.*AK
