| Description of the problem | Went to go look for new tires and was told both lower ball joints were bad. Right side was worse and not to drive before getting it fixed; it was that bad. In my 45 years of driving i have never had ball joint go this early. Ball joints went out before my first set of tires. There has got to be a serious problem for this to happen. It seems i'm not the only jeep owner with this problem. |
