To those who remember, my Durango front end (suspension/alignment)is still all messed up. Just gonna swallow my pride and have it fixed at a shop/dealer. Where would you recommend I take it? Also need them to be able to come pick it up since it isn't really driveable.

Suggestions? Looking to get this done ASAP

Thanks,

Jer

Edit: Preferably close to Beloit Rd/108th

Dodge Land on hwy 100 they do pretty good work, did you do the recall on the ball joints yet?

If i remember correctly the mounting tabs on the frame for the control arm is f'ed up right? If that is the case, you need to get that to a frame shop, not a dealer.. Unfortunatly I wouldnt know where to go for that.

we tried to play with that, it did absolutely nothing. I suspect the lower ball joint may be bad, but I am not an expert with steering/suspension. I think he is just looking for a shop to give a proper diagnosis and if they are reasonable, Im thinking he will have it repaired there.

Scott, Im sure I am speaking for Jer too when I say thank you for the referral, however at this point we don't know whether its frame damage or suspension/steering damage. Where could we go for an accurate diagnosis? Can a bodyshop do that, or do we need to take it to a service center?

I would take it to a dodge dealer, they will have the specs needed to replace or fix what ever needs fixing. You can take it to a Mom and Pop place save some cash, but corners might get cut, and if something happens you can always go after a dealer or take it back, vs the mom and pop place telling you to take a hike. Every place your going to hear pros and cons just make sure you watch them and ask about everything and you shouldn't have a problem.
