Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 2007ball joints on 98 dakota...and recall?
Anyone know if that recall of balljoints for 2000-2003 models (dakota and durango?) was ever extended down to 1998s? I supposedly need ball joints and front shocks (and have to therefore get the whole upper control arm, according to some "chain-store" repair shops i've been to....The whole thing seems to cost more than $800 (incl. tax and "shop fees"). ???? Truck has about 99000 mi. The mechanic showed me the front left and right ball joints, which looked cracked and separated. p.s. ..but the truck runs fine as far as i can tell...don't notice anyone of the symptoms, and recall, i've read about, (all day today on the web). I brought it in for alignment, and two mechanics said the ball joints are shot (but one place said their fine, but didn't look at them..ha ha...all he did was push up and down on the truck...but another mechanic who lifted up the wheels and then pulled on the wheels...noted they're too loose, and he looked at the cracked balljoints. thanks for any info. I did my own for $68 each on my son's previous 2000 Dakota and his current 98 Dakota - both - all 4 on each. Also had to replace the upper control arm bushings on both trucks on the right side. I still need to do the left side on the 98. The 2000 was sold after I did all that work. $68 x 4 is a whole lot cheaper than $800 and it's not hard. The bottom rivets are huge and one is a bit nasty to get out but it can be done. > Anyone know if that recall of balljoints for 2000-2003 models (dakota > and durango?) was ever extended down to 1998s?

You need to be realistic here. Truck is 9 years old and 99K miles and they do wear out even with no defect. How you drive and service them has a roll in their service life. Some can get 200K out of them in easy stock driving and some with lifts and big tires are lucky to get 40 or 50K (I have seen ball joints on GM IFS 1/2 ton truck go in less than 30K with really big tires on them) Just except it as normal here and and repair as needed and move on. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com >>Truck has about 99000 mi. >>The mechanic showed me the front left and right ball joints, which [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >----------------- >TheSnoMan.com geez. come on, even you can do better than that. ......and service them has a ROLE in ......... just ACCEPT it as normal............ and finally, take your own advice, you moron: .....and move on. >and finally, take your own advice, you moron: > >.....and move on.
