 Subject: Ball Joints for 2004

Message:
Has Dodge addressed the ball joint issue for their 2004 Dakotas. I'm about to buy one and I just found out about this problem. I hope Dodge fixed this problem on their 2004 models or I'm going look for another truck.
I like everything about the Dakota and hate to consider another truck. But how dodge is handling the joint problem dosent say much. Anyone know if they changed the type and kind part that keeps failing for 2004.
Buy the way this is one hell of a site.

I'm in exactly the same situation. Local dealers are down to about 4 of the Quad 4x4s that I want so I don't have much time to wait. I read 1 post that speculated the 2004s weren't affected because the ball joint problem stemmed from mismatched suspension that was updated in 2004, all speculation though. Also, my next consideration, the Jeep Liberty, did have the ball joint recall, according to a forum I visited.
I test drove a manual tranny quad 4x4 3.7L and want to buy it pretty bad, great truck.

It's my understanding that the ball joint problem was fixed in 2003 when Dodge completely changed the suspension on the truck. I hope so, because I have a 2004 model. I also read that Dodge is using the same 2004 ball joints on the 2005 model, and I don't think they'd do that if they knew there was a problem with them.
