ahaaa, you are correct my friend. #24 is right next to the axle pin and I associated it with that. #27 is skinnier just llike it should be which would be the pin bolt.
Atleast he has ordered the right parts and thanks for pointing that out!

The OP should easily be able to get parts for his ram in Holland.
I have approached my local Chrysler dearler over here in England, and he orders parts for me from Holland.
They get over nighted to the UK and I usually have OEM parts within 3-5 days.
I've bought everything from OEM air filters, to cv boot joint kits and other stuff.
So to the OP, approach your local Chrysler dealer and give him your VINnumber.
They will then get you your parts easy.
They might be very pricy......but they will be the correct parts.
Hope this helps?
Al.

i drove it today, and now noisese what so ever,

however on the front there seems to be a skweeking noise, witch changes whem you drive over a speed bump, in other, when the weight is off the wheels it becomes less, and when the weight is more (coming down on the front) it becomes a bit louder,
it sounds as if something rubbery is skreaming a bit.. dont now what that is..

do you need to grease any parts in the front?

rick,

A common source for a front end squeek on a two wheel drive is ball joints. Good luck...

Jack the wheel off the ground about 3" and stick a bar under the tire and pull up sharply to see if the tire (ball joint) will move. It is about the easest way to check. Good luck...
