## Narrative
BALL JOINT FAILURE --- DODGE AVENGER  IN JAN 04, I HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED ON MY 96 DODGE AVENGER.  WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE LEFT BALL JOINT FAILED WHILE GOING INTO A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY.*AK  FORTUNATELY I AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE CENTER MEDIAN AND OTHER VEHICLES.  I HAVE PICTURES OF THE BALL JOINT.  A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH THE GARAGE THAT MADE THE REPAIR AND THEIR INSURANCE PROVIDER.  MORE DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE IF NECESSARY.    THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THIS AND THE DURANGO.      - FRONT LEFT    - AROUND 30,000 MILES (AFTER REPAIR)    PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED OR NOT.  -RON HENDERSON
