Had to have the tie rods, trailing links, bushings, etc. all replaced at 40,000 miles! From the shop that did the repair these parts with normal driving should last up to 100,000 miles. Went to Safercar.com and found that Chrysler dealerships around the country were replacing the front suspension on these vehicles at the rate of 20 per day. The dealer wanted $1800.00 for the work, my local, very dependable, very honest, repair shop did the work for a little over $600.00! No problems since!
The dealer would do nothing for me as the car was out of warranty, so I wrote a letter to Chrysler. They did reply but was told exactly what the dealer told me, the car was out of warranty!

Both tie rod ends replaced one year and ball joints went bad. Ball joints are built into control arm. Making excessive labor and more cost then needed.
