| Description of the problem | Took into have front end alignment and was told ball joints and tie rods were bad. Was without vehicle for over 10 days and the cost was $750. 00. Got vehicle back and within a week heard a rubbing sound which turns out to be bad wheel bearings. Waiting for service shop to contact me as to the extent of the damage with that. The vehicle has under 70,000 which is less than the estimated 12,000 per year. The vehicle is not used for any off road driving. I have put more into this vehicle since i purchased it than i did my old 95 bonneville, which i drove until i purchased the jeep. The jeep was purchased used from a dealer in 2011. |
