I've got side to side play in the uppers but the lowers seem pretty tight. Is it really necessary to do all 4 or can I just replace the two uppers only? Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".

Have I mentioned how much I despise these straight-axle Dodges? At least 20 times I'm sure since I bought this truck. Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".
