94 Dakota 4x4 ...best site to buy suspension parts
Hey guys I need info on a good site to buy suspension parts ... control arm ... all front end bushings and camber bolts ... any help is appreciated, my truck has a body lift with 31's ...Alcoa rims and mud star tires ... I bought the truck a few months ago from s guy that 4x4 the $&@&$ out of it ... my passenger side tire has a serious negative camber to it ...so I think I should buy all new bushings and then take it for an alignment.. the bushings are all worn and the truck squeaks when going over small bumps .... any advise is great and thanks in advance for the help

Hard to find stuff for these trucks.
In my experience:
You can find upper control arm bushings and sway bar bushings at RockAuto or other sites easily.
For the lower control arm bushings, you can buy and modify 2nd gen ('97-04) Dakota Energy Suspension bushing kits to fit the first generation. One of the bushings is too long for the 1st gen control arms (there is a thread here on that).
Good luck finding camber bolts. IF you can get them, you'll have to get OEM ones at a dealer or OEM parts seller, but it is highly unlikely that anyone will have them. I had to get new bolts at the hardware store.
Yeah RockAuto is a good place to go. If they don't have what you need then there is not a great chance that anyone will. Except those Energy Suspension parts, those aren't on RockAuto as I recall.
