2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Lower A-Arms

[surfbeetle]

Anyone know where to get Lower A arms for a 95 2wd 2500? Local Dealer wants $356. 00 each, allchrylserparts.com wants around 290 plus shipping each. Are they to be found anywhere cheaper?

Thanks.

For 4x4 so don't know if they're different.

Might be worth giving Rip a call.

Have you had any wrecking yards do a computer search in your region or nationwide? Might also call up www.mopar4less.com and ask for Internet Parts.

From what I understand, the 1500 and 2500 (2wd) a-arms are the same. This should help to expand your search a bit.



The 2500 has heavier ball joints and of course heavier spindles/bearings/brakes/etc.

That may be so but I was told by the dealer that the 2500 and 3500 2wd a-arms were the same.

Yes I'm pretty sure the 2500s are the same as the 3500s, not the 1/2T trucks. Also they are different 2000+ since they revised the suspension for 2000 and parts are not interchangeable.

Well I got the lower A-arms from http://allchryslerparts.com/ They were around 650 for both and came with ball joints and bushings. I put them in last weekend. Long story short... the problem that I had with the lower A-arm and the balljoint getting loose in the a-arm was due to the upper a-arm not being tight. The shop that did the last alignment didn't tighten the adjusting bolts and that caused stress on the lower balljoint.



So, now after the new a-arms and Spicer pitman and idler arms, it drives like a a new truck.
