My son in law has a 1991 Dakota 4 x 4 . Can't find a new replacement driver side upper control. Doesn't anyone carry these any more ? Hate to go to a junk yard only to purchase old parts in the same condition . Any help would be great . Thank's Matt

Buy the old control arms, then rebuild them (new ball joints and bushings.) But yes, nobody sells new ones anymore.
IIRC, the 2WD upper bushings fit just fine; it's one of the lower 2WD bushings that have to be adjusted to fit a 4WD lower control arm.

Try an online company called rock auto. I got new upper and lower control arms for my 02 dakota, came with new ball joints and bushings and they were less than half the price from auto stores. I think I paid around 225 for both upper and lower.

That's great for an 02 Dak!
HOWEVER.
This is in the Gen1 subforum - 1987 to 1996.
Find us upper control arms for the Gen1 Daks there.
Rock Auto is 'out of stock' for control arms for my '91 2wd and haven't found any aftermarket anywhere so I down to searching for used. Until the front end man looks at my truck, i'm just assuming my passenger side is bent. top or bottom or both - idk
I feel up a creek as well Kenneth
