Took vehicle to mechanic to inspect wheel noise. Inspection resulted in replacement of ball joint. Inspection also revealed 80-85% rust-out of subframe on passenger side. No other undercarriage rust is evident and the vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition. This is the same area of the subframe which has been reported as a 'defect' due to factory placement of the a/c drain hose. This is a dangerous condition waiting to happen.
