2006 Dodge Dakota Owner Comments

problem #2

Mar 012010

Dakota SLT 4.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

clunk started when passing over driveway /road transition. Then it started to make noise when turning steering wheel back and forth a small amount when parked. Checked for problem by having a person rock wheel slightly while I was under truck looking at front end. Right tie rod end was making a clunking sound and I could see visible play in rod end. Left side also had visible play, but not making any noise (yet). I have never had any front end parts fail at such low mileage. Greasable fitting on our Cirrus are still good at 100.000 plus miles.
