A ball joint is the pivot point between the steering knuckle and the suspension. It lets the wheel turn with the steering and move up and down with the suspension while holding it in position. Dorman precision-engineers and tests this unit to serve as a dependable stand-in for the original part.
A ball joint may need replacing if you notice clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play at the wheel during inspection. Planning a 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 ball joint replacement? Diagnose the front end first, because these signs can have other causes. If a worn upper ball joint is the cause, this part replaces it.
