ok first...where can i get BALL JOINTS for the front of my truck? 2010 Ram SPort. Repair place is telling me I have to buy the WHOLE control arm with the ball joint...at a cost of over $3000.00 for both upper/lower. WTF?

Second, they are telling me that the bearings in my differential are making noise and should be replaced before they go bad. Is this ********? I've never heard of having to replace these before on any truck. Any help would be great guys!!!

Try going to a scrap yard maybe and getting a set of they're undamaged. You'll pay in the hundreds instead of thousands!

You could also try Mevotech UCA'S. They're a cheaper option, ****** you'd have to pay the extra 30% right now, but beefier and cheaper than stock!

Maybe they sent 300. The search I did real quick so the uppers running about 75 and the lowers running about 125 each

is it BALL JOINTS on the control arms? Or control arm bushings that I would need to replace? Anyone know? I'm confused.

It's your ball joints on your upper control arm. Assuming your 2.5" level eventually made them 'pop'. Go to rock auto and buy the mevotech's, you will not pay duty when they arrive, all fees are prepaid.
