| Description of the problem | Re: 2008 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 2 wheel drive. There is a recall l16 for a defective left outer tie rod nhtsa action # pe1109, campaign # 11v350000 for various model ram's. On january 14 at 37,733 miles i replaced the right outer tie rod part #5175790ac. I would think that at 37,733 miles the tie rod should not have had to be replaced. This is not a work truck! |
