No vehicle with sealed ball joints are good.The Liberty is not the only vehicle that has had a recall on ball joints,Toyota is another very big ball joint disaster.

With the lower balljoints I got tired of sitting on the wait list and got my usual mechanic to put in MOOG K3199's...sent the bill to DC and Dr Z sent me a check for the parts and labor.
