Consumer Description

1. CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK. 2. UPPER BALL JOING WEAR AT A DANGEROUS LEVEL. 3. I HAD TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED, AND I STILL HAVE THE OLD PART. THIS PART WAS RECALLED UNDER THE 4X4 VEHICLES, AND MINE IS 2WD SO I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I BELIEVE MY SAFETY WAS AT RISK, AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A 4WD.
