I HAVE A DEALERSHIP CONVERTED RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP LIBERTY. I WAS SLOWING DOWN PULLING UP TO A MAILBOX AND THE LEFT LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN HALF. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A MAILBOX AND THE RIGHT LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPED IN HALF. BOTH TIMES I WAS IN MOTION. LUCKILY, I WAS GOING SLOW AND THEY WERE ON BACK ROADS. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK ALL JOINTS PRIOR TO THEM BREAKING AND HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. MY HUSBAND AND FATHER EVEN CHECKED AFTER HIM. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND IT WAS NOT LISTED.

THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT HAS BROKEN 7 TIMES IN 1 YEAR AND HAS BEEN REPLACED. USING 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS ASSUMING IT WAS THE MECHANIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED EACH TIME WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST MECHANIC PUT AN ADDITIONAL NUT AND HAS ASSUMED TO WORK. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HE HAS REPAIRED OTHER JEEP LIBERTY'S WITH SAME PROBLEM IN ONE CASE HE WELDED IT ON, I HAVE SEEN 3 OTHERS IN MY SMALL TOWN THAT YOU CAN SEE THEY ALSO HAVE A DRIVER FENDER THAT IS DAMAGED AS MINE IS WHEN THE BALL JOINT BREAKS AND TIRES PUSHES WHEEL FENDER OFF.
