Does anyone know if upper ball joints from a 99' will fit on a 01'?? I looked everywhere. I can find lowers but no uppers for my 01'.

Probably not a lot of difference but Rockauto has the uppers for the 2000 dakota now. You might try those

What do you mean they are trying to sell you the whole control
arm? Why are you going to the dealer in the first place? You are
just going to get the same piece of 5hit ball joint again. Go to
rockauto. Think aftermarket people.

What brand of ball joints should you look for? Is one better than the other? Are any greasable? Need some for a 1999 dak 4x4. Very hard to change? I do most of my own maint. on my vehicles.

Well just bought upper 99' TRWs at advance-autoparts down the road for $40 each with liftime warrenty. Thay ARE the same BUT the bolts they give you are to small, I put some larger ones in they work fine. RockAuto does'nt have the upper for 01' in stock atleast now but I did order the lowers from them.
