Description

Keep your truck's front end pivoting smoothly as it steers and rides over the road with the DORMAN PREMIUM B7401PR, a front lower 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ball joint. It's a direct replacement for the 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 with all engines. This ball joint is precision-engineered and rigorously tested to serve as a reliable replacement for the original equipment on this truck.

Direct replacement: Designed to fit and perform like the original equipment on the listed application.
Reliable fit: Precision-engineered to match the design and dimensions of the original components.
Durable construction: Built to strict standards from steel, with a rubber dust boot.
Rigorously tested: Checked through thorough quality-control measures.
Lower repair cost: Replaces only the failed component instead of the entire assembly.

This press-in joint uses a tapered, threaded stud with an 18 mm thread diameter, 1.5 mm pitch, 35.5 mm thread length and a 2-inch-per-foot taper. The maximum outside diameter is 61 mm and the wrench size is 12 mm. The joint is greaseable and has a cotter pin hole. It ships with a castle nut and a snap ring. It is a standard replacement grade. Country of origin: China.

A ball joint press tool is typically required for installation. The truck uses two of these joints. This one is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. Clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear are signs a 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 lower ball joint may need replacing. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before you replace anything.
