Yes was having problems. Upper ball joint was bad on drivers side and lower ball joint on Passenger side. Going to put a new set of tires on after i have the front end alignment. Brakes were also quite bad. Calipers were starting to hang up ( not releasing ). Michigan winters had taking a toll on lots of rusted up parts. Damn salt. Dave

 

wow....guess i'm just lucky so far.....quick find some wood to knock on!!!!

 

my stock shocks got so bad i hit a bump on the highway the other day and i swear my front tires came off the ground when my CV shafts flexed the whple truck vibrated liuke crazy. I need to get ranchos badly

 

Same. How many miles are on your truck? because i only have 49k and im kinda pissed about this.

 

I got 55k and mine are shot. comes with the territory, the truck is heavier than the struts are designed for, so they wear out quick. poor design.

 

i have about 61k but they were bad for a while...I have no money to spend on shocks though..

 

I put my ranchos (front and rear) on last week with the trailmaster levelling kit, and so far I love it, no complaints here.

 

was your rear shock an rs9000 because on rock auto it sais thats the only one for 4x4

 

I have 49,000 on my Dak. Just wanted to make sure i had all this done before new tires and didn't want to be in the garage when below zero weather sets in . I,m 60 years old and the work last weekend pooped me right out 10-4. Dave

 

I just bought a set of Monroes from Rock auto... pretty cheap I guess for the set of 4. Already did 1 ball joint, but the front end is still warbly and inconsistent. Alignment is perfect finally (took 4 turns on the rack)

Curious if I have a wiped wheel bearing on one side.....

The front end design looks totally cool on paper, but is challenging to keep working properly in real life...
