It was a surprise to me to be honest, when I went in and got it checked, the guy indicated that the ball joints start to go after the 6th oil change, my jaw dropped to the floor because of that statement, that's only 30k.
I asked him if that was standard and the guy sniffed and said it was the price of driving a dodge and specifically a jeep.
Its funny, because I'm reading the work and expense that Pylon is putting into it and I'm feeling a little shame, in my defense I got all the prescribed work done, and was getting ready for the tires and some work to be done, when this bombshell was dropped on me.
Yeah the two things that really annoyed me were the doors, the hinge on the passenger side went early and the lock mechanism on the drivers side never worked properly.
The one big rust spot I blame on my ex girlfriend who saw a paint chip and for some reason pulled on it.
don't get me wrong, I loved that jeep, I had wanted one since I hit drivers age, and I got 7 good years out of it, but when two mechanics come back to you with thousands of dollars in estimates on a repair estimation, I decided to get out, I'm glad that Pylon got the jeep that he wanted since he sold it to me the first time and it looks great so far.
