 Subject: the wheels gonna fly off 04s?
IP: Logged
Message:
OK Ive checked all over and haven't been able to find any information about this issue so I thought I'd try here. I checked the NHTSA website and it would appear they're not looking at anything later than the 02 model year from the Dakota for the ball joint issue, and it mentions there were changes in the joint design on 03s. I just got an 04 4x4 Quad cab, so what Im looking for now is more info on what those changes were and whether they positively affect durability, or should I still start shopping for Moogs now so Ill have them ready when I hit that magic 30-40K mark.
My wishful thinking is maybe Dodge recognized a recall and a big bill for them is inevitable and they wanted to minimize the number of model years they'd have to deal with by trying to get it right on the 03s and 04s. But I know my luck never works out that way so thats why Im asking. Anybody with useful info please let me know.
3100 miles on my Quad 4.7 5 speed auto so far, and not one single creak, squeak or rattle. Only thing that irks me is the paint seems to be about as thick and durable as your average hair follicle.
