Consumer took vehicle in for clunking noises. Dealer came back with ball joint and axle needing to be replaced. Dealer is getting together with district manager in that area to start recall. Dealership is trying to send back every ball joint and axle. Noise is coming from passenger's front side. Axle has a clamp that's not self adjusting, a machine is needed. Grease is leaking out of axle. Ball joints have to play. If repaired dealer said problem will reoccur later on.
