Default 95 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Ext Cab Lower Ball Joint Help

First let me say hi to all and thanks to to all that reply... Fellas please fill me in with the deal on the lower ball joints moog has a listing for replacements which i ordered however i quick look under the truck and it looks like the lower ball joint is part of the control arm... Looks like the grease fitting goes into the aluminum control arm... Am i missing something because it looks nothing like the replacement... Please let me know how they come out and how the replacements go in..

Looking at the pics, looks like there's a retaining ring that you remove, then press out the old ball joint, press in the new one, and install the new retaining ring.

First step may be to flush the crud and crap out of the lower control arm where you can find the retaining ring.

(The 2WD version threads in and out, it looks like.)
