11-25-2003 - Bad Ball Joints.. On Our Dakota Trucks?
On October 27-2003 A major evening news television program broke a story about the Durango SUV truck.. A cousin of our Dodge Dakota Trucks.. having weak and failing ball joints.

An undercover investigation into a Daimler Chrysler / Dodge Dealership concerning this issue ensued. Two owners who had failed ball joints were interviewed.

Is NHTSA conducting investigations? What does Daimler Chrysler have to say concerning this matter.. How does this information effect our Dakota Quad Trucks?

11-25-2003 - Inspecting Your Dakota's Ball Joints!
With the breaking news of the update above.. it only would make sense for us to do our own ball joint inspection of our trucks.

Today we'll take a look at a Quad with 33,000 miles on it's ball joints and walk you through your own truck's ball joint inspection.. step by step.. with pictures of each step.

We'll introduce you to the extremely inexpensive tool's every Quad owner should have.. not only for this inspection.. but ones needed by any truck owner who wants to save money and do maintenance on his own truck.

We'd recommend.. you check your ball joints every 10,000 miles at the minimum. Why pay your local service station each time you want it done.. when you can save time and money doing it yourself?

It's easy.. it's fast.. it could save your life.. Find It Here:
