Squeaking noise heard in the right front of the vehicle.

We took our plymouth voyager to our dealer with a complaint of a loud "clunk" in the front end. We were informed that our transmission was failing and that it would soon require replacement. We asked if the vehicle was safe to drive as we had to leave on a 400 mile business trip the next day. We were informed that the transmission could fail, but that it would not cause and accident. We then left for our destination. We took it to a mechanic at the destination and he informed us that their was nothing wrong with the transmission, but that the vehicle required immediate repairs to the front ball joints. He said the vehicle was extremely unsafe and should not be driven until repairs were completed. We had him do the repairs. Upon removing the front ball joints he showed us that one had probably never been greased since we bought the car. He also said that due to the zerk fitting aiming down it required a special tool to get grease into it and that he had always replaced these poorly designed zerk fittings with angled ones so that they could routinely be greased. The replacement ball joints were equipped with the proper grease fittings which would allow easy maintenance. I took the failed parts to my dealer and was informed that despite my having numerous lubrications and safety checks at their facility that it was not their fault. I disagreed whole heartedly and since have had no further dealings with their department. My question is this..... Am I the only plymouth voyager owner out there riding on a vehicle with unserviced ball joints. If it is so difficult to properly lubricate them, how many other people are riding in vehicles that could have disasterous front end failures. Why were the improper zerk fittings put into these vehicles in the first place. I feel that a routine inspection of similar plymouth voyagers could show a trend of improper (or zero) maintenance. Please investigate this potential safety hazard!

While making a right turn there is a "banging" noise which sounds like something may fall out and cause a crash. Dealer replaced steering rack and pinion twice and struts. There was a crack k frame which the dealer had to weld back together, but the problem is still occurring. Dealer could not determine cause of the problem. Please provide further information.

I am reporting this to you only because in the 30 years I have owned vehicles I have never had to replace the entire steering column. This lead me to believe there may be something defective with this part.
