How Should I Inspect the Control Arm Balljoints on Dodge Dakota?

Inspect the control arm balljoints for looseness anytime they are separated from the steering knuckle. Check for up to 0.020-inch movement with a dial indicator or have it checked at an automotive repair shop. If replacement is indicated, replace the upper or lower control arm. For the lower balljoint, a special press tool and receiver cup is needed to remove and install the balljoint. If you don't have access to this tool, take the vehicle to an automotive machine shop or other qualified repair facility.

Dodge Dakota Ball Joint

The Ball Joint in Dodge Dakota vehicles plays a role in connection between the steering knuckle and control arm that enables it to rotate in the suspension system. This component is critical in keeping the vehicle upright and balanced since it enables it to move up or down as well as side to side when this is desired but not in any other way. Upper and lower ball joints are common in Dodge Dakota models and are made of metal material that has rubber like covers that shield them from contaminants and provide room for greasing. Several years ago, Dodge Dakota started using modern sealed ball joints that do not require greasing as is the case with the earlier models. These developments make the vehicles more efficient by offering better control during handling, not to mention better suspension that would also promote longer use of the tires. Another innovation which enhanced the adjustability of caster and camber has been the transfer from the conventional kingpin designs to ball joints which also has played a significant role in enhancing the safety and efficiency of the suspension system of the Dodge Dakota.
