| Have owned a 1999 dodge dakota v8 318ci 4x4 extra cab since brand new and have had issues with the front ball joints. less then a year old front tires wearing out on the insides and when a went to get an inspection sticker they said the ball joints where out of spec and showed me how they where very sloppy but they made a few phone calls and said that these dodge dakotas and durangos had design flaws with the ball joints and gave me a sticker. the dealer i got the truck from replaced the passenger side lower control arm. but it just got sloppy again in a few months. have just kept replacing tires and asked several dealers about this and they said that's the way they should be and there is nothing wrong with them. this truck is used mostly on the highway for my 80mile daily commute to work. i heard about the recall but it doesn't cover the 99 model year. during my drive to work on route 3 and route 495 south the front wheels wander all over the road. looking at them today the front tires (both) are only worn on the inside the rest of the tire looks like it's brand new. *jb | |||
