Recall #96 V 018 000/ GM lower control arm: When driving at low speeds and making either left or right turn, there would be a knocking or banging sound. The vehicle has been to the dealer on one occasion and they tighten the lower control arm ball joint attachment nut. Now the problem has recurred again. Manufacturer was notified and they informed the consumer that the vehicle was not covered under any recall at that time. Please feel free to provide any further information concerning this issue and fill out the remaining questionnaire.
The lower ball joint sheared off at the bottom of the nut when exiting the driveway at 3mp. There was a loud noise when it sheared off and caused the body to put its weight on itself.
