Recall to inspect front, lower ball joints on Dodge Stratus

The was a recall on some models to inspect the front, lower ball joints and replace any that are damaged.

Most commonly, drivers find that a clunking sound occurs when passing over bumps, and popping noises may be heard while turning the steering wheel.

Aside from these noises, the vehicle may pull to one side while driving, and the tires may wear excessively on the inside edge.

The worn out ball joints must be replaced to prevent risk of separation of the spindle and hub assembly from the lower control arm, a dangerous scenario at any speed.
