| Component | SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | No failure as of yet, but have two lower ball joints on my vehicle that both are out of tolerance at the same time. Seems that my make and model year had a recall on the lower ball joints but they are telling me that my vehicle wasn't included. It seems very odd that the ball joints are both out at the same time, almost like there is a problem with more of the joints than they initially expected. *nm |
