1 Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2004

There has been no failure yet that I know of but I own a 2002 Dodge 2500 with the cummins turbo diesel engine. This truck was built with only two (2) grease fittings in the steering gear. This is an insufficent number and will cause premature failure of the ball joints and tie rods.

2 Steering Tie Rod Assembly problem

The vehicle's tie rods and ball joints experienced problems. Please provide any additional information.
