Consumer Description

DUE TO LETTER FROM MANUFACTURER, I TOOK VECH IN FOR SERVICE TO UPPER BALL JOINTS. THEY SAID UPPERS ARE FINE BUT LOWERS NEED REPLACED AND IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE LETTER AND IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION. I CALLED MANUFACTURER AFTER SEEING ON YOUR WEB SITE THAT LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED AS PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID IS THE DEALER SAYS THE UPPERS DON'T NEED REPLACED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE POSSIBLE UPPER BALL JOINT PROBLEM. DOES THIS SEEM REASONABLE? *AK
