RJ-1407-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

The ball joint sockets of the suspension lower arms do not have sufficient strength, and therefore, they may crack when the vehicle is repeatedly driven on uneven road surface caused by snow or frost etc. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks can grow, and the ball joint could come off the lower arm, causing the vehicle to stall.
