#4569, "RE: WARNING: Everyone MUST read" In response to In response to 12
Hey guys, go look at the NHTSA official web site for the exact wording of the recall. They INSPECT it, and if it looks ok, they can just let you go home. Only if it needs to be replaced, then they are replacing it. I think a lot of dealerships tend to just replace it automatically since mitsu corporation will reimburse them for the labor, so it's just more profit for the individual dealership.
I have one question: are the ball joints part of the lower control arms? On mine, they just replaced both lower control arms, so does that also replace the ball joints?
