Installation Notes
Verify front axle fitment before ordering. This kit is listed for Fits 2000-2002 Dodge Dakota, front and Fits 2000-2002 Dodge Durango, front. For Dakota applications, notes include rear disc brake rotor designed for 11 inch rear drums or 9 inch rear drums, so rear brake configuration should be confirmed during service planning.
