i have heard that these are a royal pain in the ass if never done before...mine were replaced right before i bought it...and dan at southern underbody (did jons and ethans exhaust) said the first time they are a pain cause of how rusted they are, but from then on out you should be pretty good...thats all i know tom haha

Will do it! They cant be that rusted in though as I just recently (1 year) had them done!  They werent MOOG so that was like sticking shitballs in instead!  Will just have to learn how. Will go online and read up on it!

dodges are known for bad front ends, check out all other bags that have grease in them to see if any are popped or just shot
