 Subject: Upper Ball Joints 2000
IP: Logged
Message:
Just want to know if anyone has had their upper ball joints go out on there Daks? I decided to finally put on my new rotors and pads, when the jack pulled my tire off the ground it dropped about a half inch. So I pulled the tire off thinking ot might be my bearings. But my ball joint was shot. So of course you have to get the parts from Dodge and the A-arms and Ball-joints are rivited. So I go down to a local parts store and ask them for ball joints for a 98 and they were the same in appearance. So I ground down the rivets and bolted them in. So far so good. Anyone have this experience? Any problems, or should I get the A-arms from Dodge.

Travis, were they direct bolt in's or did you have to make some mods, aside from grinding out the rivets? My truck is already in need of this fix, too.

Well I ground down the rivets and directly bolted the new ones in. They were for a 98, but the kit fit to a T. So I hope they will allign ok when I take it down. But I am sure they are the same as the 00 Daks. Dodge wanted 183+ tax for the A-arms with the rivited joints. it was 120 for two new bolt in ball joints.
