Is this something that is covered under a federal warranty?? I was told
yesterday by a honest mechanic that both of my lower and one of my upper's
are wore out and need to be replaced. What can I do to get this taken care
of?? It is a '99 2WD club cab.

That's weird, they are covering uppers and lowers on the 2000+ out here in
SoCAL... Dodge blows on following through with their repair work IMHO.

I am doing 4x4 control arms now (powercoat/new ES bushings)... Got ES to
make the bushing for the lower control arms (you can't get replacement
bushings for the 4x4 arms, ANYWHERE). I'll be doing 2000+ 4x4 arms soon.
