Re: 1999 dodge durango front suspension i just had to replace all four ball joints, and both tie rod ends on this vehicle at 59,000 miles of light on road usage. I have run previous vehicles to over 200,000 miles without any front work required. I consider this to be a defect in design.*ak

1999 dodge durango. Just replaced ball joints and inner tie rod ends due to excessive wear in only 65000 miles. A potentially dangerous situation for not only myself but my newborn and 3 year old in the car with me. Apparently there is a tsb out on this but chrysler needs to concider a recall.*ak
