What was wrong
Defect
THE INVOLVED BALL JOINTS WERE MISBOXED AND MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT IN CERTAIN VEHICLES. IF THE IMPROPER BALL JOINTS ARE USED, THEIR LARGER DIAMETER COULD ALLOW THE CONTROL ARM TO CRACK AND FAIL.
Manufacturer remedy
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM, IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE.
