    I DIDN'T BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. FIGURES...IT WENT OUT OF WARRANTY IN MAY 2001. I DON'T THINK THAT A VEHICLE SHOULD NEED NEW BALL JOINTS AT 28,916 MILES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BALL JOINTS ARE BEING REPLACED ON OTHER GM JIMMY'S THAT ARE OLDER THAN MINE. I ASLO, INCLUDED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS FROZEN IN PLACE. THIS EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT USED. HOW WOULD IT BE FROZEN IN PLACE????
