Details
What's wrong: Due to inadequate lubrication of the inside of the lower ball joints, excessive wear can occur causing damage to the lower ball joints. Separation of the lower ball joints from the steering knuckle arms could occur.
Why it matters: This condition could lead to a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the lower ball joints.
