Anyone know if the upper control arms off a 1990 2wd Dakota will work on my 1994?

Hollander shows that 1988-1996 all use the same upper arms.

Thanks Steve. do not see any need in all the press work. Bushings are good on 1990, shot on 1994. I have ball joints for the 1990 that I will use for the 1994. Any idea if wheel bearings are same truck to truck?

1987-1996 interchange on both inner and outer bearings. Rotors are different though.
