2001 TOYOTA TACOMA User Comment / Complaint

Front suspension lower ball joint. my 2001 toyota tacoma double cab vin# 5tehn72n51z840377 has diagnosed with a worn lower right front ball joint. i have been complaining about a noise in the front suspension for the past 50,000+ miles. initially the noise occurred while taking left turns, now the noise occurs during all phases of operation (left& right turns, and stopping). toyota claims my that the recall is vin specific and mine is not covered by the recall/tsb. yet my vehicle exhibits all the symptoms described in tsb 05015 (nhtsa #100015504) and has for several years.
