The dakota I bought last week needed some tires and an alignment, alignment shop said they couldn't align it because....

drumroll please.....

The balljoints are shot!

SWEET! I feel like I belong now Good thing I got the truck for what I thought was a steal, cause I'm dumping quite a bit of time and money getting everything shipshape Spent like an hour taking off the stupid vinyl dodge stickers the previous owner put on the back windows. Was hoping to have the truck back tonight so I could take some pics of it with the new meats on but alas that will have to wait till this coming week.

Interesting note, I put the VIN in the dodge database and it had no outstanding recalls, yet the truck only has 55k miles on it, I find it odd that the ball joints would have been replaced through the recall and then gone bad again in 55k miles, but whatever.
