FWIW, the DANA brand for ball joints are Perfect Circle, the 99 earlier p/n for
the lower is FA1681 and they are $28.99 the upper is FA2132 and are $41.99. You
can get them at autozone.
BTW, my 99 4x4 has greasable lower ball joints and tie-rod ends. The uppers are
not. And if it matters, my 89 Dakota 4x4 had all the joints greasable and I
never replaced a suspension part in 250,000 miles.
