This happened after a trip to Home Depot with a full load of drywall.



It happened right where I had to drop the drywall off, at my buddys house, so Its going to sit there till I get the parts

Front Drivers side.

Thumbs up 98 Dodge 1500 2WD Upper Ball Joint Replacement

I want to give a special thanks to Dodgeram07.
He resolved my problem.

The upper ball joint is pressed up and the lower is pressed down.
There were no welds or rivets installed.
I pressed the upper old joint out just a few minutes ago.

I can't say enough about how great this forum is and its members!

Thanks Again,

Coongobbler

Went to a junkyard and snagged a stock coil connector and a overhead console switch.

I dropped one with a 6" extension on it from arms length while doing my rear main seal and it landed on my cheek bone right below my eye on the end of the handle. A cut and a black eye was the result so I feel your pain.

Where are you at in NC? That truck would be a nice addition to the Dodge convoy at Uwharrie if you would come to the next get together.
