## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the lower lateral arm ball joint can separate due to loss of lubrication.  There is a potential for moisture to leak past the protective boot which can cause the ball stud to corrode.  This corrosion, acting much like contamination, can also lead to premature wear and separation of the ball joint.  This could result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash.  Correction:  Lower lateral arm ball joints will be inspected for wear and replaced as necessary with newly designed lower lateral arm ball joints.  Ball joints that are within the established tolerance will be cleaned and a special sealant will be applied to prevent the intrusion of moisture.
