Cheap Dodge parts - Bought used and replaced upper and lower ball joints, Inner and outer tie rod ends, Idler arm, shocks, wheel bearings, and stabilizer rubber bushings. On the right side, parts were worn so badly that the entire tie rod end assembly could be spun around about 120 degrees. Ball joints had 0.25 inch vertical movement.
Definitely my last and only Dodge, all of these part should not have failed. There are no grease fittings on OEM parts and they probably needed replacing after 80,000 miles.
OEM parts were Chinese, I replaced with mostly Moog and it finally feels safe to drive. High cost and hard labor to fix.
