I have a 2002 dodgeram 1500 truck approx. 70,000 miles, the upper balljoint (passenger side) bearing failed, and caused undo stress on the lower balljoint causing it to brake. Causing the truck to pull to the right into a tree.

problem #1

Nov 212004

Ram 1500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40 miles
Vehicle was making noises in front end. Took vehicle to dealer, they said noise was just bushings were just dry. At 40,000 miles took in because the truck steering was funny, dealer said both control arms and both swaybar links wor out. And truck was unsafe to drive. And the repair would cost consumer about $1000.
