I remember reading posts about the upper control arm being over torqued during manufacture (95 lbs. instead of 65 lbs.). My question is how have you folks addressed this issue? Did they re-torque to correct lbs. pressure, did they replace, or did they do nothing and tell you to go away? Will be taking vehicle in soon for ball joints and this seems like the perfect time to address this issue. Sorry if this is old news, I did try the search feature. Thanks!!!

MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THIS TOOL! There is also retaining clips on the ball joint boot that you should tell them to remove prior to pressing out the joint as this makes it much easier to remove and less likely damage will occur to your arms. This procedure is detailed in these threads as well. You might want to take some close up pics of your arms, knuckles, rims, and fenders before you go. Its advisable to find a dealer that will allow you to watch. Good Luck and share your results. ------------------ Mickey 1997 Plymouth Prowler #156 Mopar front splash guards Real Rod stainless steel transmission cooler cover 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE Longhorn scratches Boomerschlobber
