Good times.
$500 to get it towed to the closest shop and have the work done. When I got home I had the dealership replace the other (for free of course). After I got the bill, I got Chrysler to reimburse me the $500  |
Did you have any aftermaket suspension parts on the car when you brought it in? If I have to take it in to replace the ball joint I don't want to hear "aftermarket parts void the recall" or I'll be like
all over their ass. I know the driver's side ball joint was already done by the previous owner, I didn't know the passenger side had a recall too.
