joining the early wear club. went down to replace the stock affinity tires and picked up some nokian wr's . anyhow the tire shop called and said they are not going to be able to align the patriot as the outer tie rods are shot and it looks like the rear struts are leaking. they did not do a full suspension check so i wonder what else is shot. tie rods and struts were quoted at about $800 at the tire shop but they thought i should take it down to the dealed and talk to them due to the low kilometers they were supprised how worn things were. I had planned on taking it in anyway as it only has 28000 kilometers (17400 miles) but am 3 months past the 3year warranty.
went down to the dealer and explained what had been found. he asked if he could call me later as he wanted to call in to see what could be done since it has low mileage ,shortly after the warranty end and that i bring it to them for service. he called me back 45 minutes later and said they would cover the parts and me the labour, but chrysler wants it brought in to see what everything else looks like. wonder how the ball joints are going to be. ill find out friday but with what i would consider fairly low mileage i hope more is not found.
oh ya i dont take this thing off road either
