Screw both the bolt and nut securely until you reach 210 Nm (155 ft. lbs.). Slide the lower end of the stabilizer bar onto the lower control arm and tighten the nut to 102 Nm (75 ft. lbs.). Put the ball joint into the steering knuckle and fasten the ball joint nut to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.).

Cut out support from the lower control arm, fit the wheel and tire assembly and then lower the vehicle by cutting out the support.

With the help of the Shock Absorber, the ride quality and handling of Dodge Dakota vehicles is improved through the operation of shock impulses' absorption. This mechanical devise works to transform the kinetic energy to heat that is felt whereas the shock is absorbed to reduce the effect of any rough terrain. The Dodge Dakota employs several shock absorber models which include the twin tube and the mono tube in its structure. Twin-tube shocks are general and may be gas-charged to enhance the sturdiness of shock absorber while mono-tube shocks offers better heat elimination and efficiency. Over the same period, there has been development within shock absorber offerings, some of which include PSD (Position Sensitive Damping) and ASD (Acceleration Sensitive Damping) whereby responses depend on riding conditions. Also, semi-active systems that incorporate electrorheological and magnetorheological damper improve the driving dynamics of Dodge Dakota, maintaining tractability and comfort in its utility type pickup.
