Consumer Description

STEERING SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT HAS EXCESSIVE WEAR, APPEARS IT IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AS ROAD SPLASH HITS THE LOWER STEERING JOINT AND POOR SEALS ALLOW RUST AND CAUSE IT TO SEIZE, MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT AND THEN WHEN IT IS LUBED BY SPRAYING A LUBRICAANT ON IT IT FAILS A SHORT TIME LATER. SURVEY THE DODGE DEALERS AND SEE HOW MANY OF THESE JOINTS THEY ARE REPLACING... THIS PART IS ALSO ON NATIONAL BANK ORDER PER MY LOCAL DEALER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
