Angry need help finding parts

I am in need of an upper control arm for my 95 Dakota sport. Can't seem to find one anywhere. If anyone could tell me a part number or where to get one I would greatly appreciate it.

4x4? Yeah, you're not likely to find a new one. You'll probably have to look at eBay or a junkyard.

car-part.com and sort for distance from you. Before you drive there, call them and ask if they really have it.

Then, put a new ball joint and new bushings in. THEN install it.

I'd suggest doing both, BTW; keep the handling matched.

I could have sworn Dorman or someone made 2wd control arms (I remember half wishing I had a 2wd when I did my resto) but I'm either mistaken or they stopped making them. Sorry man.

To add to onemore94dak's link ... if you go poly, supposedly, Prothane's black bushings are graphite impregnated to get rid of the poly "Squeak!" that results if they're not lubed.
