Consumer Description

THIS PROBLEM IS ON A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH ONLY 48,435 MILES ON IT. (BALL JOINT FAILURE) ONE LOWER BALL JOINT HAD .25 INCH OF FREE PLAY THE OTHER ONE HAD .10 INCH OF FREE PLAY, ONE UPPER JOINT HAD .07 INCH OF FREE PLAY . I REPLACED ALL 4 OF THE BALL JOINTS JUST FOR SAFETY. TOTAL COST WAS $780 . IF THESE BALL JOINTS HAD GREASE NIPPLES THIS FAILURE WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WOULD ONLY COVER $110 OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. *TR
