Consumer Description

ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT SOCKET SEPARATED. I WAS GOING 50 MPH. ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, NO POT HOLES OR BUMPS. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG, FRONT END DROPPED DOWN, LEFT FRONT TIRE FLIPPED SIDEWAYS AND THERE I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE 35 YEARS IN THE COLLISION INDUSTRY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENS, OTHER THAN A POOR PART FROM THE START. THESE PARTS SHOULD NEVER SEPARATE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE ON MY CAR. BUT I WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE. I HAVE INSURANCE THAT WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS OTHER THAN THE BALL JOINT. GOING TO HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED ALSO. THIS HAPPENED AT 5PM ON A BUSY ROAD, THERE WAS LOTS OF TRAFFIC. I WAS PLEASED THAT NOBODY CREAMED ME WHILE I TRIED TO GAIN CONTROL OF CAR AND MAN HANDLE IT OFF THE ROAD. I SEE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. *TR
