Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 1998 DODGE DAKOTA 4X4 IN FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL FOUR FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. ONE SIDE WAS VERY LOOSE AND WAS ALMOST READY TO BREAK. I TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS WHO SAID THIS IS EXPECTED FOR ANY DAKOTA OF THIS ERA. I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2000 AND ABOVE YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. WHY AREN'T THE 98'S INCLUDED IN THIS, THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
