#10053058 | January 13, 2004

SQUEAKING NOISES HEARD EMINATING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION AT 35000 MILES, UNABLE TO LUBRICATE SUSPENSION BECAUSE COMPONENTS LACK SERVICE/GREASE FITTINGS. DURING FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION AND TIRE ROTATION, IDENTIFIED PREMATURE WEAR TO RIGHT SIDE UPPER BALL JOINT CAUSING MISALIGNMENT, UNUSUAL WEAR TO FRONT TIRES AND WEAR TO LEFT WHEEL BEARING. DEALER REPLACED LEFT WHEEL BEARING AND RIGHT SIDE UPPER BALL JOINT AT 37336 MILES. DEALER ALSO RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF MOST OF THE OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS BEFORE THEY FAILED. DODGE WAS HELPFUL IN PICKING UP THE COST OF FAILED PARTS, NOT RECOMMENDED REPAIRS. MY COST $100.00, FOR GOING OVER THE WARRANTEE MILAGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN A MAINTENANCE FREE SYSTEM. PLUS, I GET TO PAY FOR A RE-ALIGNMENT AFTER THE CURRENT REPAIRS AND MOST LIKELY THE COST OF ANY OTHER PREMATURE FAILURE OF THESE MAINTENANCE FREE PARTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
