They cannot do that. A recall is a recall. It doesnt work like warranty work. THEY MUST REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS!! Do not let then tell you other wise.

Got an appointment on Thursday morning to have my ball joints replaced. I'll let you all know if I have problems with my dealer regarding my "larger tires" since 4-Wheeling is NOT popular in this area of New York. I'm just waiting for them to tell me that since I have larger tires (75s instead of 65s) they will not honor the recall since I did the damage myself by overloading the steering and suspension system...UGH! Maybe I'm just being paranoid...I'll keep you all posted though. |

Well, got the BJs replaced this morning. It only took 45 minutes, with no mention of my tires, thankfully! The service manager actually said my originals were perfect, which I figured would be the case since my Lib was built post-initial recall and already had the heat shield installed. I started questioning myself on the way home whether or not I should have just left good enough alone, since now I have new parts which might have been manufactured hastily with less quality control ever since the rush to get these parts out to satisfy the recall demand. Hmmm, I wonder if they'll replace them for free again if they fail on me. Oh well, so far, after 61,000+ miles I have had NO problems with the Jeep (knock on wood) and I love it! |

I was a happy man when I took mine in for the recall. I had 50k miles on them of which 25k miles was after the lift. But even after 25k lifted miles, mine were fine. I guess Rusty's lift is pretty ball joint friendly. |
