6 months ago I had a ball joint and inner and outer tie rod replaced on my escape. The dealership said it was ready to go. About a month ago the car started cutting to the left when hitting the gas and cutting to the right when letting off the gas. I took it in and they have told me that the ball joint is bad the steering knuckle and the whell bearing is bad. The ball joint is under warranty still. The mechanic is saying they may have put a bad ball joint on the car. I do know some about cars and if the ball joint was bad when they put it on cant that cause the steering knuckle to over compensate and go bad and the wheel bearing to wear down?
