I replaced the upper control arm bushings and balljoints on my 92 2WD with a cummins, I loosened the nut on upper balljoint about half way off.then put a socket on lower balljoint nut found a strong bolt that would fit in square hole of socket.and just long enough to fit between upper and lower balljoint studs closely. with a nut on said bolt. then with nut screwed all the way down on bolt stick the threaded end in square hole of socket and head of bolt against upper stud unscrew nut to expand bolt against both studs when you get as much pressure against the two rap on the nuckle that balljoint is in. I tried balljoint seperater it just bent the forks.I then used a scribe to mark the position of the two A arm bushings at the back of A arms removed them. and pulled the A arm out. the balljoint is threaded in the special Dodge socket was $89 so I took it to a shop had the old ones pulled and new ones put in $20 each.Be sure to realine the control arm bushings that you marked as close as you can.I have about 5000 miles since I did my PU drives fine but still needs alinement.
