2000 dodge durango. Popping sound coming from somewhere around the steering column. Have taken it in to dodge three times and they cannot "duplicate" the problem. Sound occurs when steering slightly to the left or right. Have mentioned ball joint issue reported on the news and i'm told that can't be it. Mechanics at dodge refuse to admit there is a problem with ball joints. Problem continues. *la
