    I just found out today that i will need to install a completely new set of front wheel bearings, tie rods and ball joints after factory recall. According to repair shop they installed the same faulty components to replace the ones that were recalled. I was told they should have installed the correct units with grease fittings, they did not. Going to cost $980.00 to repair. *tr
