## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front suspension lower ball joints may prematurely wear out due to improper finishing of the surface of the spherical portion of the ball joints between the front lower arm and knuckle.  Although a loosening ball joint will emit some noise, in the worst case the ball joint may separate without prior warning.  A separated ball joint can result in an apparent sudden loss of power, reduced steering control and a possible crash.  Correction:  The front suspension lower ball joints will be replaced.
