Firm up a loose, clunking front end with the Delphi Front Lower Ball Joint TC1649 — a direct-fit 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 2500 ball joint replacement that also fits the 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 3500. As the front lower joint, it forms the pivot between the lower control arm and the steering knuckle, letting the wheel steer while the suspension travels.

  • OE-grade validation: Delphi applies its OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio, testing parts below -40°C and above 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • High-quality forgings: built with high-quality forgings for increased strength and smooth operation.
  • Chloroprene rubber boot: the joint uses a chloroprene rubber boot to improve durability and help prevent premature failure.
  • Micron-tolerance machining: machined to micron tolerances for smooth joint operation, with anti-corrosion protection applied for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.

Signs the joint may need replacing include clunking or popping over bumps, wandering or loose steering, and uneven front tire wear. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment for your truck.
