| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan murano with about 58,000 miles and about 6 months ago when it had about 50,000 miles, i had to replace the left outer tie rod. Just recently, i had to replace the left and right front lower control arms because the ball joints were badly worn. I didn't notice any handling, steering, rattling or any other unusual issues before the problem was noticed. I don't drive the car over rough roads or abuse it in any way. These defects were detected when the tires were rotated. It makes me wonder what else will cause problems in the suspension if these things went wrong with relatively low mileage. There are no recalls that i can detect and this is not covered under the basic warranty so i plan to call the dealer and do a lot of complaining. |
