SIMULTANEOUS FAILURE OF THE INTER AND OUTER TIE RODS, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USE AS A WORK TRUCK, DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS AND CURRENTLY HAS 120,000 HIGHWAY MILES. RACK AND PINION IS LEAKING OIL, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS COMING A PART. *TR
I HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER AND CONTROL ARMS ( BOTH SIDES) BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVEN. I DO NOT DRIVE THIS PICK-UP OFF ROAD! IF YOU LOOK AT THE LACK OF SIZE TO THE BALL JOINTS, IT IS AMAZING THEY LASTED 3 YEARS. *TR

ONE MORE THING CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THERE...

THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 17,000 MILES AND WE ONLY HAVE HAD IT 22 MONTHS, BOUGHT NEW. THE STEERING ARM WAS OFF AT BOTH ENDS, THE WHEEL CAME OFF AND ALL DAMAGE WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL, THE OTHER WHEEL WAS TURNED STRAIGHT. WHEN ACCIDENT HAPPENED THE TRUCK VEERED TO THE LEFT OUT OF CONTROL. THE AIRBAG NEVER CAME OUT. ARE THERE ANY REPORTS OF 2002 DODGE TRUCKS HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS? CHRYSLER FINALLY SENT A PERSON TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS WANTING TO PUT AFTER MARKET PARTS ON OUR NEW TRUCK, WHICH WILL LIMIT OUR WARRANTY WITH CHRYSLER SINCE THEY'RE...
