At least on the 4x2, yes, they're riveted in place and the Moogs come with bolts. From Dodge you'd have to get the entire a-arm.

You'll need to get some 3/8" grade 8 bolts nuts and washers. You will also need to drill out the hole in the new MOOGs to 3/8". This is needed since the rivetless hole left behind are about 3/8". The fork is use to wedge out the ball joint from the control arm.

I'll post this again for some visualization on the process. I do nto show us drilling out the moogs but we did.

Awesome video, that is a big help. Did you do both the top and bottom? I think I'll start with the tops and see how much that helps. Did you torque the bolts to a certain spec? Thanks again for the help.

We did not do the lowers yet. Not sure what the torque spec was.
