Front Steering & Suspension Kit for 2005-2011 Dakota/Raider - 6 Piece

Our review of this 6 piece front steering and suspension kit evaluates it as a practical OE-replacement option for owners of 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider and 2011 Ram Dakota models. The bottom line: this kit is best for someone who needs a direct-fit, vehicle-specific refresh of worn front suspension parts and values complete coverage in one purchase. It replaces upper control arms with ball joints, lower ball joints and outer tie rods so a technician can restore steering feel without hunting for individual parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so installation requires no modifications for compatible Dakota and Raider models.
• Complete 6 Piece Kit: Includes two front upper control arms with ball joints, two front lower ball joints and two front outer tie rods to address multiple wear points at once.
• OE Reference Coverage: Matched to several OE and aftermarket reference numbers for easier cross-referencing during purchase or installation.
• Anti-Corrosion Coated: Enhanced surface life reduces the rate of rust in road salt and wet climates.
• Kitted for Restored Performance: Replacing all primary front components together helps restore handling and road-feel more predictably than piecemeal repairs.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIY mechanics and professional garages working on the specified Dodge, Mitsubishi and Ram Dakota fronts who want a single shipment containing all front control arm and tie rod components for a coordinated suspension refresh. It suits vehicles showing play in ball joints or tie rod ends, or those undergoing front-end overhaul after moderate to high mileage.

It is not the best choice for owners of other makes or model years outside the listed fitment, nor for someone who only needs a single replacement part and prefers OE-branded individual components. Buyers concerned about long-term durability of ball joint boots should consider inspecting warranties or alternatives before purchase.
