It's only covered on 2000+ Dakotas/Durangos is my understanding--
I sell control arm kits are completely rebuilt/powdercoated with all the good components (Moog greaseable ball joints, Energy Suspension poly bushings, Moog inner/outter tie rod ends). A direct swap-- no hassle replacement.

Price that-- then see what your mechanic would charge (parts/labor) to go through and replace your current balljoints, bushing, etc...
The ones I sell are ready to go-- minimal labor time-- then send me your arm cores back.
