Don't really know if the title of this post is relevant to my problem but here goes. I have an '02 Durango and had the ball joints repaired as per the recall back in January of this year. Just this past week I started hearing what sounded like a rattle (sort of metalic sounding) whenever I would hit a bump in the road. It was coming from the driver's side and as far as I could tell, was in the front. Anyway, on Monday I took it to my local mechanic and they checked it over. They adjusted some dust shields and wheel well shields in the front of my car. They said they weren't on right and were probably causing the rattling. Yesterday I started hearing it again and today went back to my mechanic and they told me I should bring it over to my dealer as they were told, by the person at the dealer, that several people brought their autos back with similar symptoms as mine which were possibly related to the ball joints. Has anyone heard of problems resulting from the work on ball joints on their autos? I have an appointment next Thursday to bring my car in and hopefully will find out then.
