I replaced the struts in july and now the control arms in december. The shop i work with stated dodge has a design flaw with these components and a recall should be in place. I reached out to dodge and they said they have issued recalls for this with other vehicles, but not the charger. I have paid over $1200 dollars to replace parts that i am told should be recalled.

Had a clunking noise in rear. Rt rear tire was wearing out premature. Found a loose bolt in rt rear upper control arm link and both sides had loose control arm bushings in the link arms. 4 total. One was actually bending the large washer out almost to the point of failure. If this happened the wheel would have become logged in the wheel well and caused the car to loose control.
