Regarding our 2001 dodge stratus, lower control arm ball joint failure. originally on october 25th of 2005 we had the left front control arm/ball joint assembly replaced because of severe squeaking during suspension movement. this was caused by lubrication failure. there is no way to re-lube this joint on this design. the assembly was replaced with the only available part at the time from dodge. for the past couple of weeks i had noticed that during abrupt braking the vehicle would pull strongly to the left, then recover when the brakes were released. i had scheduled for inspection appointment on 11/10/2009. then on11/2/2009 the same exact ball joint failure occurred to the left side when my 16 year old son was driving the vehicle. i had read the nhtsa campaign # 09e-056 regarding the qualis failure and wondered if it could be related somehow. please advise. *tr
