## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, insufficient clamp load at the attachment of the lower control arm ball joint to the steering knuckle may result in separation of the joint or fracture of the ball joint stud.  If this should occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of vehicle control may result.  Correction:  Dealers will verify the torque of the steering knuckle pinch bolt and tighten as necessary.
