I'm not having that problem but i'd try getting one from the junk yard if the noise is annoying. National back order sounds like a long wait period.

Maybe not, but I bet you can find the part on a Durango in a junkyard. There are a lot more Durangos out there than Aspens, and we seem to forget that the parts are pretty much interchangeable other than cosmetic stuff. Also, it might be worthwhile to call a Dodge dealer and ask for the corresponding part number from a Durango...should be the exact same part, and depending on how archaic their coding system is, it could show up in stock for Durangos and on backorder for Aspens.

Worth a try anyway...

like all auto makers they dont make there own parts so when something is on back other its for 1 of 2 issues 1 there is a mass flood needed from a defect or 2 they are switching people who make them to some one else and they are not avail yet.

As I said, Rock Auto has them in stock. Not OEM, but Moog at about $85. There is another oem type brand listed for twice that price if you feel it is better.

I'm trying to figure out what the big deal is here. It's not like MOPAR parts are the best around. In fact, most of the aftermarket parts I've put on my Aspen have been way higher quality than the stock crap.
