A truck my friend recently bought has to have the front ball joints done. We have been looking around and eBay says these ones will fit but they are for 4WD and then there is another kit that says for 2WD but it says it does not fit. I am assuming that it is because eBay does not ask what wheel drive and just assumes it is 4WD, but this truck is definitely 2WD. Just asking since it is better safe than sorry.

Hello, I am Danny.

Yes, both the 2wd and 4wd ball joints are the same on that truck. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
