I have a 96 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive. It has come time to replace the upper ball joints. What I want to know is there anyone that makes one for it that has a grease fitting? All the ones I see don't have a grease fitting. Help !!! Thanks, David
You can get the loner set from advance that makes really easy. Make sure the kit is the one with the large C clamp and multiple size fittings. Keep asking, they've got it.

From experience....you might want to go ahead and change them all...it's sort of like a general rule of thumb (or so I was told)...I just recently changed mine

Hey man, you and I are both Caldwell County guys.Let me know if you ever need help with your truck.I have alot of specialty tools.
For sure do them all, and yeah they have sets with zerks, look around.
If you've never done them before or haven't in a while, search the 2nd gen sections "ball joints", theres some good info out there, including step by step with pics.
I got everything from autozone upper & lowers with grease fittings. They had the right balljoint removal kit. Did one side yesterday and will do the other today. Would have got them both yesterday but I did the brakes on the wife's avenger.
