This problem needs to be addressed with Jeep. Not only are the ball joints poor(second set) but the noise in the front end it out of control. Nothing seems to work, even after the new tires, re-alignment...what is the problem with this car?? Tires 850.00, ball joints 900.00 and re-alignment 80.00....still sways, still sounds horrible going over bumps, and best of all still hydroplanes on wet roads. Can't wait for the snow to see this car be all over the road, from the front end whatever problems to the poor trac that it gets. Anyone with help to this whole problem would be of interest. My Jeep dealer is in shock over all that is going on with these models. I have a Jeep Wrangler...wish I would have just bought another one of those at this point!!!! This is by far the worse jeep I have ever had!!!

had to have sway bar links replaced at 21,000 miles. also my tires are feathering. i have 205 70 r16 tires and there are no other brands out there. goodyear is the only tire in that size. also had two alignments done. my brother in law's brother works at a jeep dealer and he fixed it. jeep drives 100% better now. troy.

Since i get my 2008 Patriot, it had a annoying noise in the back tires produce it every time I cross through an imperfection of the way.
I took it to the jeep service and they tight and check the suspension and tires, but still the same.
