I took my 1999 Dodge Durango into have the tires rotated. The auto tech said both the upper ball joints were failing on both sides and the lower ball joint on the left side along with the tie-rods. My Durango has 100,000 miles on it. I was told by the manager of the service department that Durangos were know for ball joint problems and that they have had recalls. I see the 2000 Durangos have had recalls, what about the 99's. $800 with of repairs is very costly.

I took my 1999 Dodge Durango slt 4X4 to have an alignment and I was told that the alignment ws fine but that the front ball joints were failing. The serviceman told me that all 2000 and later model Durango's were recalled to replace the parts. He also told me that my vehicles parts were the same as the 2000 year models that were recalled. The recall was because the ball joints had failed causing several accidents. Why the 1999 models weren't included I don't know. I sent a letter to Dodge and they gave me the generic answer that there were no recalls active for my vehicle. I haven't fixed the vehicle yet and all the parts are still in place.
