Well dude, I'm not a mopar tech or anything. But I can tell you though,
that I have had my lower ball joints in my '92 replaced twice. When it
was around 1-2 years old! The first time I took it to the dealer
(mistake) and they siad the same thing, "no problem"! Then I took it to
my garage (after I also failed a inspection) and they replaced the lower
ball joints once with stock ones. Then those went bad within a few
months! and then they replaced them with after market ones. And I
haven't had a problem since and I'm coming up on 100,000 on the
odometer!!
Don't believe the dealer!!!!....................
