Ram 3500 Ball Joint
The Ball Joint of Ram 3500 vehicles is essential part of the chassis that connects the vehicles' steering knuckles and control arms; it enables rotation but not translation. It is standard on Ram 3500 trucks to have two front suspension ball joints, and depending on the make and model it might have rear suspension ball joints. A ball joint is a suspension component made of steel that have a bearing stud and socket integrated with a protective cover to let in dirt and lubrication while keeping dirt out. Many of these components have displaced the kingpin design invented in the 1980s and approved for use in various forums in the subsequent decade, primarily as they provide for more caster and camber angle adjustments than the kingpin design, while still providing for stability and a comfortable ride. There is today's ball joints that have a feature of being hermetically sealed meaning that they will never need to be greased and they will therefore not require services as often.

Ram 3500 Ball Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How Do You Inspect the Control Arm Ball Joints on Ram 3500?A: To inspect the control arm ball joints, check for looseness whenever they are separated from the Steering Knuckle. Try turning the ball stud in its socket with your fingers. If the ball joint is loose or the ball stud can be turned, it needs to be replaced. To check the upper ball joints, raise the lower control arm with a floor jack until the tire barely touches the ground. Use a large pry bar between the upper control arm and the steering knuckle, prying upwards. Up to 0.020-inch movement is allowed, and a dial indicator can be used for precise measurement. If necessary, replace the ball joints following the specified procedures. The lower ball joints are inspected similarly but with the tire off the ground. In both cases, if replacement is needed, use the appropriate press tool and receiver cup, or take the vehicle to an automotive machine shop or a qualified repair facility for the replacement. Note that the availability of replacement parts may vary depending on the vehicle model, so check with your local auto parts store before disassembling the vehicle.
