They stopped delivery of my CRD in Bremerhaven so I had to wait a week to pick up but this was done. It is a spring and gear that must be replaced. |

Quote: Sorry to be an @$#%, but its not crd related and its all over the forum I read about the the play in the ball joints but this sounded like some news flash. I didn't realize there was a recall for the BJ's anyway. I guess I've spent too many hours reading about the tranny issues and EGR failures.

So it's not the ball joints?

When the ball joints are replaced is an alignment also required? |

Technically, the ball joints are considered a suspension item, perhaps one reason why I didn't think of them when my pals mentioned a steering recall. An alignment should be done if they are replaced. |

no it was a spring and a gear that was replaced in the steering rack. I will look back and see if I can find it. maybe if I ran my VIN it would show up. |

I thought that an alignmnet is required but I read somewhrere they don't align due to the lower ball joint isa precision fitted item and they don't mess with the toe in toe out. If they don't align it I will have it done somewhere else rather than risk trashing my BFG's. |

I can see where this could be called a steering problem. It's a problem when you you leave one tire & strut assembly on the shoulder of the road.
