Dodge Durango Forum II

About lower ball joints being replaced...

I just had my '98 Durango in for service last week and gave them a long list of problems. One was a loose feeling in the steering while cornering (thought it was steering shaft related). They replaced the lower ball joints AND the control arms. Has anyone else had this done under warranty? They also installed a new fan, clutch and shroud (complaint was for loud fan, insufficient cooling and poor air conditioning while idling - also relaced air-cond. condenser for that too.) They replaced the hatch latch (complaint: moved when locking/unlocking). Replaced the fan blower motor (complaint: noisy on speeds 3 & 4 - still noisy, though.) And they ordered the parts necessary to do the TSB regarding ping/misfire under load in top gear, converter locked. I think there were a couple other things also, but can't remember now (getting senile). Anyway, they did all this work without one "can't duplicate customer complaint" reply. I am extremely happy with the service I have gotten from this dealer (Laurel Dodge). If you are from this area (MD) you should go there for service.
