Consumer Description

IN MAY OF 2004 MY IDLER ARM WAS LOOSE, AND I HAD IT REPLACED. I STARTED TO NOTICE EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN WEAR ON MY FRONT TIRES BY OCTOBER 2004. AROUND THANKSGIVING I WAS DRIVING UP MY STREET, AND LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AS I DROVE AROUND A CURVE AND ALMOST HIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DID NOT CRASH, BUT I HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND THE IDLER ARM REPLACED AGAIN, AND THEN NEW TIRES PUT ON THE TRUCK. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING SOUND IN THE FRONT END, AND UNEVEN WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES AGAIN. THE STEERING IS LOOSE, AND AROUND CURVES IT SEEMS TO SLIP, AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL. *JB
