RE: IML: Ball joints compatibility

["Rob McCall" <Rob_Mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don’t have the part numbers, but the first generation Vipers used ’87-96 2WD Dakota upper control arms.  The ’87-96 Dakota used the same ball joints as the ‘72-93 2WD Ram, which used the same ball joints as my ’67 LeBaron.  I didn’t look into anything older since I don’t own anything older than that.  At least not now.  I don’t remember the details on the lowers for the Viper, but the 2WD Dakota/Ram are the same as my LeBaron as well. 

 

So finding factory fresh ball joints for these models shouldn’t be difficult.  I prefer Moog parts myself.

Can someone get me numbers for the Viper? I know the '75-'78 full-size Chryslers have the same upper as the '65 Imperial. I'm wondering how different the lowers are.
