the problem is that the threads for the Brake caliper bolts strip out of the Steering Knuckle. the only fix is if caught soon is to Helicoil the threads or replace the Steering Knuckle(dealer cost part only $415.00). I haved tried to find a replacement part from the Junk yard and they all have the same Problem. I have talked to my Brake man and he has been replacing these steering knuckles on alot of chrysler products. including Jeeps and all Dodge Trucks. The bolts come loose, strip, then you have Braking problems IE. pulling, increased stopping distance, no brakes on one side
