Consumer stated problems with the ball joints. Manufacture was contacted and stated that they will pass the information to the engenieers but has been 8 days and he has not heard about them. The rubber boots fell apart causing dirt and water to enter the ball joints. Consumer is aware of other complaints on the internet regarding this condition. However a month has pasted and consumer has yet to hear from manufacture.
