12432, My Ball Joint Recall Story....
Posted by xcasbonx, Sep-30-02 03:05 PM
Well I figured I should throw out a story on here bout my mishap. Luckily mine didnt break on the highway going 70. It happened in my driveway. I didnt have my car for a month. The original dealer I took it too said they were fine and just "resealed". I never did anything about it and it eventually broke. So I had my car taken to a dealer where my dads friend worked and he had to replace over a 1000 dollars worth of parts on my car because of 1 ball joint. These are the following parts that were replaced.

2 Link-lateral control arms
1 cv/shaft
1 core
1 knuckle
4 Stud-wheel Hubs
1 Hub-front wheel
1 Shield-FR Brake Disc
1 CP Cotter Pin

"Right axel assembly damaged when right ball joint came apart and removed right side knuckle assembly. To remove axle assembly axle was rusted badly in hub and couldnt get axle out and was necessary to replace knuckle hub/bearing assy and strut bar to fix. Also did 967 recall on vehicle."

Luckily a chrylser rep inspected my vehicle and they said they would cover all damages free of charge and would also take care of the dealer who didnt fix my car the first time. So in other words dont go through all the bullshit I did and get them REPLACED!!!!
