front end u joints

at 68,000 i have replaced every u joint on my '06 2500, and the rear driveline u joint twice as it was replaced under warranty at 25,000. the last two that need done are squeaking, the ones out by the front wheels. do i need to remove the whole spindle and replace the ball joints a tie rod ends, or is it like the older danas that after you remove the bearing assembly the hole is big enough for the axles and yokes to slip through? dodge needs to change their u joint or driveline supplier because they suck
