Consumer Description

THIS IS NOT A SERVICEABLEE PART AS THEY NO LONGER PUT A GREASE FITTING ON THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. ON THE REPLACEMENT PART THERE IS A GREASE FITTING. THIS SHOULD A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAD I BEEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, INSTEAD OF BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 2MPH, THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE, AND DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT. CHECK ARROUND, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THESE BALL JOINTS HAVE A MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK
