*Sigh*

I see my fellow DML folks are having the same problem that I did. Let me
guess, you both have about 4000+ miles on your vehicles? Take 'em off road
more than the average bear?

Say hello to the right lower control arm problem. It took me four trips to
the dealer before they got their head out of their ass and figured it out.
If you pay attention, you'll notice that it happens when you make sharp left
turns at low speed, especially if you do a bunch of them in succession
(like, say, constantly turning left in a parking garage). It's particularly
bad on the 00' and greater 4x4 models (Ed - *pop clunk* yet?).

Good luck,
