i bet its a fat one, this way he doesnt have to spend all his cash on suspension parts.. only thing hes have to spend money on is the dollar menu. throw a burger into the bed and watch that thing spark.

I've had this happen twice. I don't know if there's much a difference between the ball joints in the 1st and 2nd gen dakotas, but all that happened was the steering got loose on me (but not uncontrollable). My 2 upper ball joints are now welded in.
