I HAD THE FOURTH SET OF LOWER BALL JOINTS INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE ON FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1999!! THE FIRST TWO WERE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, INCLUDING GENERAL MOTORS HELPING PAY FOR THE TWO TIRES WHICH WERE PREMATURELY RUINED DUE TO THE PROBLEM. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE TO MORE TIRES, BUT I AM STILL STUCK WITH A $288 BILL FOR PARTS AND LABOR , WHICH I BELIEVE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY. IN ADDITION, I HAD TO REPLACE TWO DAMAGED TIE ROD ENDS LAST DECEMBER, A CONDITION WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE FAULTY BALL JOINTS, GENERAL MOTORS CONTINUES TO INSTALL ON THESE VEHICLES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P23575R15 )
