The ball joint failed and sheared in half causing a good amount of damage to my vehicle. I worked with the dealer I bought the part from and they are not covering the costs for the damage caused due to the failing part. Now the company who made the part is also saying they will not pay for the damages. My whole truck came slamming down on the tire and damaged wheel well components (fender liner), the fender flare, and gashed my tire and rim. I had to have the truck towed home because it was inoperable.”
