Hi everyone, I am new here and looking for some help. First off, my name is Greg. Second, I have a 2005 Dodge Dakota SLT, 64000 Mi, Extended Cab, 4x4, Auto trans, 4.7 standard motor. Everything is bone stock. I have browsed the forums, and it seems that there are a couple of things...First, that the dealer is pretty much the only place to get link pins for the front sway bar. Second, that there is only a body leveling kit available for this gen of trucks. I am looking at replacing the lower ball joints and sway bar links because I am getting a crazy popping noise when I turn and go over bumps. Checked underneath and found some play in the LF lower ball joint and play in the RF link pin. I figured while I am doing suspension work, I might as well level out the truck. SO I am looking for ideas on brands, where to buy, so on and so forth. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post!

 

the only place to get ball joints is the dealer, also they come complete with the control arms. also while you have the frt end apart, most of us have switched to the rancho suspension, which is far better than stock. purchase new sway bar links also, they are gonna snap when you remove them
