I am looking for some info before I order parts. Long story short, I have a 2008 Dakota and live in Eastern Europe.

Needless to say, I need to get some parts and the Dodge Service Center here doesn't have them in stock so I will be ordering them from the States. However, I need someone to point me in the right direction.

I need to purchase tie rod ends, ball joints, and tie rods (bad roads). The ends and ball joints aren't a problem, but I have had a hard time finding standard tie rods online to order. Do I need to purchase an entire rack?

When I look on dodgepartsmopar.com or autopartswarehouse.com I can find tie rod ends all day but I can't find tie rods sold individually.

Any advice?

 

I will move this to the 3rd Generation Dakota Sub-Forum.

 

Order all the parts from Rockauto.com. Most of the members here go with Moog parts, which are greaseable. OEM Dodge front end parts are junk.
