While driving at 15 mph the consumer turned a corner and the right front wheel snapped off. The dealer found that the upper right ball joint has malfunctioned. This caused considerable damage to the under body of the vehicle. Also the right control arm broke after the right ball joint was replaced.

I have a safety concern with my front suspension on my 2000 Dakota quad cab 4X4. I hear a popping noise coming from the front shock and control arm area. I also notice excessive abnormal wear on recently new tires. I also hear a lot of tire noise when driving and some front end shake.
