Ya, Bernd your right, looking at the invoice it says part #52069361AC
Hub/Bearing assy.
I seem to recall on the DML quite a few years back there was a lot of talk
about ball joints for the 97, 98, and 99 4x4's. I think it's time to check
the archives for the Moog part #'s (allthough from past experience Canadian
and American part #'s are different except for the last 3 to 4 digits or so.
I wish the 97's had a ball joint recall also as the newer ones :-)
Thanks
