1999 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

AFTER 14 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AGAIN IN MY 1999 DODGE DURANGO 4 X 4. IT HAS 79,000 MILES ON IT. DODGE ONLY WARRANTIES PARTS FOR 12 MONTHS. I STARTED HEARING A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM MY FRONT END. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THINKING IT WAS SOME PROBLEM WITH THE SHOCKS. IT TURNS OUT THAT BOTH SETS OF BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE REPLACED. I HAVE THE WORN OUT BALL JOINTS. *JB
