Hey guys, sorry to bring up another balljoint problem, but this one is a killing me. About a month and a half ago, I had my ball joints, along with both upper control arms replaced on my R/T at a Dodge dealership under warranty, since then, I have put about 1,300 miles on my R/T and once again, the ride has gotten progressively worse and now there is a very faint squeaking coming from the front end, but I have had no "pops" or "clunks" from up front. I did the loose wheel test and both wheels are very, very tight, no sloppiness at all, but this also didn't hint at bad ball joints last time, 3 weeks before they were replaced. Now my R/T is out of warranty and it's really starting to worry me. My questions, before it goes in Tuesday, is as follows:
A. Should the dealership do the repair on their dime this time, seeing as the amount of miles and time since the problem was "fixed" is so short?
B. Does this sound like balljoints to you?
Any help would be appreciated, as I don't want a wheel popping off going 70 down I-94.

I would stop-by the dealer and ask them if they could check for everyones peace-of-mind. They should do a quick check for free if it is that short of time since the service, they would be doing themselves a favor by checking. Could be stabilizer bushings making that noise, but then again, it could be alot of things, so best to let them check.

sounds like the control arm bushings to me. if it's handling bad you need to have them realign it.

Thanks for the replies so far. The boots actually looks pretty good too. As for the dealership, I looked on the work invoice and it says they do warranty all parts and labor for 12 months and 12,000 miles, which ever comes first, so I am well within that limit on both accounts.
