Suspension parts questions.
So I recently ran into a problem with my 1990 Dakota. It is four-wheel-drive and all of my bushings are shot and it looks like my upper control arm is tweaked. Would a upper control arm from a 97 to 99 work because there’s some nice aftermarket ones out there for them. My biggest problem is I can’t find anything suspension wise for a first GEN Dakota .

Funny you mention this. I tried the same thing, I purchased a 97 for my 87 4wd. While the bushings are the same, and I believe it would bolt to the frame. The ball joint is different. The stud is a different size, So at least you would have to change the spindle, and from there on, I have no idea. Here is a picture of the 87 vs 97
