As the title says my truck is killing my balljoints, I recently bought it and the lower control arm is not factory, it looks like a drop arm, and I do not know what spring is in there. Either way, what is a better way, or the best way to lower a truck while keeping good balljoint angles? Or will I just have to stockpile ball joints and replace as needed? Any help will be great!

 

I will move this to the 2nd generation Dakota sub-forum.

 

The majority of people on this forum are 4x4 people so dealing with lowering problems are not common.

I have looked at possably lowering my Dak a small amount not much so I have looked at this but I think if lowering its the top control arm thats the modifyed one not the bottom one.

What do you mean by killing my balljoints! You have replaced them two times now?

What Dakota do you have year, model 4x4 or 2 wd, engine so on?

Have any Pic's for us to see this problem?

 

They are on a huge angel, and that is obviously baaad! Haha I just bought it and it was done this bad . Its a 2000 dodge dakota, 2WD and 4.7L v8. Ill try to possibly get some pictures up later

Give this a shot,DIY Jeebus Joint kit.Totally new design for the joint.But as mentioned good alighnment,just a thought.............

 

sometimes the factory DOES know the right way to do something.
