    they are under a recall. just take it to the dealer and they will change them for free.

    If I have Donahoe coilovers installed does the lower ball joint replacement/recall still effect me?

    If you mean should they be replaced, the answer is yes

    Thanks for the reply. I mean if I have aftermarket coilovers, do I still have stock lower ball joints that fall into this recall?

    yes you do...unless you have changed them. the coilovers have absolutely nothing to do with the lower ball joint or the recall
