Description of the problem	I have read many other people on here with the same issue and my mechanic said my model jeep was known for this, but after hitting a curb my wheel and suspension parts holding it on let the front right tire, rim and all fall completely off. After getting it to the mechanic and having him putting it on the lift he told me i couldn't drive the car even after the front right was fixed b/c the car was a danger to myself and others. I was told the front ball joints which hold the suspension together and keep the wheels on the tires were completely worn out and the tires could fall off at any moment. He told me he had this issue many times with my model car and didn't understand it. I bought the car used a year and half ago with 45,000 miles or so. Once the mechanic did change the ball joints, he told me something even worse... He could tell since they were not factory ball joints, that they had already been replaced by the previous owner. Therefore, the factory set needed to be replaced sometime before i bought the car, and a year or so after the replacement ball joints (the parts that hold you tires on so they don't fall off driving 60 mph down the highway and kill you and others) were put on, a new replacement set had to be added. This is a serious and scary issue that needs to be addressed!
