Consumer Description

FRONT PASSENGER TIE ROD ON 2000 DODGE KEEPS BREAKING. HAVE REPLACED TIE ROD 4 TIMES, BUT 2 SEPARATE MECHANICS ARE TELLING US THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT TIE RODS WOULD BREAK REPEATEDLY IS BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE BALL JOINT. TIE ROD HAS SNAPPED NEXT TO BALL JOINT EVERY TIME. IT IS ALREADY CRACKED AND ABOUT TO BREAK AGAIN. IT HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS FOR US AND ONCE BEING STRANDED AT A GAS STATION AN HOUR FROM HOME. THE LAST TIME IT BROKE WAS NOVEMBER 2009. THE BALL JOINT IS THE ORIGINAL THAT CAME ON THE CAR. *TR
