Consumer Description

THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 8000 MILES ON THE CAR. THEY WENT SO BAD THE CAR SWERVED AND CLANKED AND CHATTERED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. LESS THAN 8000 MILES ON THE CAR??? THIS IS A JOKE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH SAME COMPLAINTS. WHY NO RECALL? *TR
