Hi there. Just to let you know that my husband has replaced the ball joints on a couple of 2000 Dakotas. We have a 2000 Durango and have noticed recently noticed that you can hear a popping noise at times. My husband is going to look at it this weekend. If you hear of anymore info one this let us know. Thanks, Retha

I've had the ball joints and control arm bushings replaced. Check out
my website for links to news articles, complaint forms, Dodge contact
information, etc.

Anyone that has or will be replacing the ball joints in your Dodge needs to keep the receipt. That way if there is a recall you will be refunded.

Look into www.alldata.com scroll to the bottom and click on the free recall and service bulletins and fill in the information. It will show all the recall and s.b's on your vehicle. Also you might want to ask the service manager at your local dodge dealer about this being there is a class action law suit going on about ball joints. Hope this helps. I am also going to look into this being I own a 2000 Durango.
