Squealing sound coming from left front wheel. Jacked up vehicle to inspect and wheel was wobbling back and forth. Took it to dealer and learned that the bearings needed to be replaced on both front wheels. Vehicle has 38,000 miles and has been driven almost entirely on paved roads.

I am concerned the 2004 Dodge durango and Dakota are not being investigated. They have the same ball-joints!!. also Dodge know about the ball joint problem in 2003 but continue installing the ball-joints during the 2004 production run.
