Thanks Quicksilver.

I also found this, but it's for an X5, not X3. Although there are many parts that are the same, if not identical, it has been my experience (1999 Dakota and Durango are virtually identical except for body according to Dodge), they are not even close with respect to part numbers or repair info. Suspension is different, ball joints, wheel bearings, steering knuckle, tie rod ends, etc are different. Even though the Durango/Dakota Haynes manual says they are the same, they are not. If the X3 & X5 were very close, I'm assuming the author would include the 'minor' differences between the series and make his book available to more potentials buyers.

Anybody else know of anything? My dealership just chuckled and told me, "Our customers bring their cars to us, they don't fix them on their own".
