| Description of the problem | Front sway bar risers were replaced in 2004, at a cost to me of $95, mileage was just over warranty at 38,000. The technician informed me that these risers were a weak link in the car. Now, it is 2007, and the link is loose again. The car is at the dealer, and i am without the car for two days. The frontier has 88,000 miles on it. . If the risers fail again and i do not catch it, there could be problems with the front end of the vehicle not handling , leading to an accident.*ak |
