Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota, front lower. Fits 1998-1999 Dodge Durango, front lower. Confirm the threaded, bolt-in configuration and tapered stud match the original suspension layout before installation. Use the cotter pin hole and castle nut as part of the final fastening procedure, and torque all fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Because this is a greaseable joint, service lubrication should be performed after installation if required by the application.
