Vibration 2003 Durango

I did not mean to say 72 was incorrect. The poster "72combo" above is from Canada. Our NTSB issues don't apply to Canada thus HIS balljoints were probably not covered just as he indicated. Chrysler only paid for what they had to and nothing more.
Assuming most visitors here are from the US, generally the recall was for ALL as mentioned. Just wanted to point out that in this situation, there are two right answers.

Well the tires could be out of balance now with 20,000 miles on them (even if they rebalanced them) adnormal wear? wear on the ouuter or inner of any tires? tires have any cupping to them?
Really hard to say since you did not test them at high speeds till 20,000 miles. I personally say its the tires
Here is a good guid

Most tire ware is cuase of some type of wheel alignement. We all know about the poor bushing and bad ball joints on these vehicles. perhaps you may need to look at them closer as well.

Problem Fixed
I verified if there was any recalls on my 2003 Durango and I gave the dealership my VIN and they informed me that there were no recalls on my truck.
I took my Durango in for a front end alignment. They did not find any problems but said that one tire had abnormal wear on it. It just so happened that that tire also had a nail near the edge and was considered non-fixable. A few days earlier I ordered a new tire to replace the damaged one; free because I had road hazard through Sam's Club. When the tire came in and I got it installed the vibration problem was gone. It appears the whole issue was caused by a bad tire. Why the tire was bad I have no idea because there was no apparent damage to the tire.

this happened to me with one of my other vehicles. After installing a new set of tires, steering wheel started to shake alot. After some spent money on alignment and then fingerpointing between dealer and tire place, we finally found out it was neither. It was the tires themselves that were defective. After having the tire store replace the new set with a 2nd replacement set, problem went away.
So sometimes, the tire themselves can go bad. Problably internally where you cannot see it.

I was pointing out to the tire store that it must be the tires as I was backtracking when this problem started. I had no problems with the old tires. This problem came up right after the new tires are installed. Even rotating them did not help. I guess the entire set was bad. But the tire store ordered a whole new set. And this time, 2nd set rolled perfectly..
