I just received my balljoint recall notice from Chrysler. I know this is old news to many of you and I have been reading about some of the problems encountered when the work was done. My question is what do I watch out for? I have heard about scratches and cracked hubcaps. Are there other problems that are common? I just want to be prepared when I take my Prowler in. Thanks in advance for your help! |

AirHead - check with your local dealer and see if they have done any recalls on the Prowler lower ball joints, and if so, did they have any problems. Find a dealer who has done several, as they should be experienced by now. JMO ------------------ 27,000 miles of smiles

After all that, take your center caps off before you go to the dealer, that way you know if they are broken before hand. |

What is the best way to remove the center caps? |

Take apart a wooden clothes pin and use the one side to remove the center caps. You can also use a small screwdriver wrapped in a towel. Once you get it started, work your way around carefully. When putting it back on, be careful to keep your fingers free. When they get hungry, they can take a nasty bite. ------------------   |

I will expand on that, a little. Use half of a wooden clothes pin that has a spring on it, holding it together. Use the flat part. There is a small slot in the cap, don't twist the clothes pin. When putting them back on, put a little dish detergent or something similar on the tabs to help lubricate them. Something you can easily wash off. |

I would have the tech remove them, tell him you want to see them before there reinstalled. The way I see it is if you remove the cap and damage a tab you should pay for the replacement, if the tech damages the cap the dealer will need to pay. Look for a dealer that has already done this recall, I went to a dealer an 1 1/2 hours away because the dealers near me are worthless. Check all the post you can on this recall before taking your Kat in, good luck. Al |
